Summary

Portrait of Rachel Crothers Rachel Crothers,  Representative American Plays (1922)

“ In A Man's World she attacks the basis of social and moral law which treats the woman unfairly. In Ourselves she shows the responsibility of good women for the so-called double standard of morality. In He and She she draws in a masterly way the effect which the rivalry of a wife in an artistic profession has upon the relations of her husband and herself and also upon her treatment of her daughter. ”

Portrait of Rachel Crothers Rachel Crothers,  Representative American Plays (1922)

“ After extensive revision, the play was revived and produced at the Little Theatre, New York, February 12, 1920, under the title He and She. At this revival Miss Crothers herself played the part of "Ann Herford," Mr. Cyril Keightley that of "Tom Herford" and Miss Faire Binney that of "Millicent."
The most significant of Miss Crothers' plays are those in which she deals with a problem created by some demand of woman's nature. In The Three of Us she shows the strong sisterly affection of a woman for her younger brother who is hardly worthy of it but who is saved by the power of her love.
