Some called her Virginia(1913; about a southern lady whose husband abandons her when he achieves success), Life and Gabriella(1916; about a woman abandoned by a weak-willed husband, but who becomes a self-sufficient, single mother who remarries well), and Barren Ground (1925); discussed below, her 'women's trilogy.'"
