1913. Glasgow's realistic fiction novels often showed the female characters as stronger than the male characters. It was this new type of Southern fiction that made Ellen Glasgow one of the major writers of her time. The vantage point from which most of her nineteen novels were written was her native home of Richmond, Virginia. She received the Pulitzer prize in 1942 for In This Our Life. Virginia, her eleventh novel marks a clear departure from Glasgow's previous work in that it attacked, in a subtle yet unmistakable way, the very layer of society that constituted her readership through the story about a wife and mother who in vain seeks happiness by serving her family.

Long before Deborah Tannen began exploring linguistic differences between male and female communication styles, Ellen Glasgow depicted the problem in The Romantic Comedians. Playing on ideas about gender and power through sexual alignments, the novel offers rare feminist insight into relations between the sexes in southern society during the twenties. It is one of the few American comedies of manners written by a woman. In The Romantic Comedians Glasgow takes the familiar story of the cuckold and raises it to a new level. Her sixty-five-year-old male protagonist, the recently widowed Judge Gamaliel Honeywell, falls in love with and marries an impulsive twenty-three-year-old woman, emblem of the 1920s. As the symbol of patriarchy, the Judge espouses all of the chivalrous myths about women, insisting that older women are not interested in love, that a man is only as old as his instincts, and that some young women prefer old lovers to young ones. His sheltered mind allows these delusions about women as it allows him to delude himself.

Ellen Anderson Gholson Glasgow (1873-1945) was a Pulitzer Prize winning American novelist from Richmond, Virginia. Beginning in 1897, she wrote 20 novels, mainly about life in Virginia. Her own education had been rudimentary, a fact she compensated for by reading widely. Today, her novels are regarded as more than just depictions of life in the Southern United States. She maintained a close lifelong friendship with James Branch Cabell, another notable Richmond writer. On her passing in 1945, she was interred at Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia. Amongst her works are The Voice of the People (1900), The Battle Ground (1902), The Deliverance; A Romance of the Virginia Tobacco Fields (1904), The Wheel of Life (1906), The Miller of Old Church (1911), Life and Gabriella: The Story of a Woman's Courage (1916) and One Man in His Time (1922).
