The Wilful Woman

‘The Wilful Woman’ was written by D H Lawrence in 1922. It was the fortieth of his sixty-seven short stories, all of which will be published individually in ebook format by the Blackthorn Press. 'The Wilful Woman' remained unfinished and so the tough, spoiled, rich American woman, used to having her own way, does not get the nemesis Lawrence may have had in mind for her. Whether it was the Wordsworthian lessons of nature as she battles her way through the American wilderness or the harder lessons of a waiting husband who may or may not want her, we will never know.
