Adele Garrison was the nom de plume of Nana Springer White, an American writer. Her career included time as a schoolteacher in Milwaukee. She later worked as an editor for the Milwaukee Sentinel and then a reporter and writer for the Chicago Examiner and Chicago American.

"Revelations of a Wife" ran as a serial story in her daily newspaper column in multiple American newspapers from 1915 until the Depression. It told the story of the marital ups and downs of Margaret "Madge" Graham, an independent-minded former schoolteacher, and her husband Dicky, an artist.

Fine narration. A little slow in parts but that might be me. The wife is maddeningly long-suffering but thank god she breaks from her passivity when pushed too far. 3 dimensional character. Thumbs up.

Interesting take on marriage. Can’t say I disagree entirely; but then that’s what makes story-telling so engaging.

Great book. Lovely to be taken back to such old times
