Description

A tale of literal and proverbial gold diggers.Not the incel manifesto you might expect, "Scorn of Women" is one of Jack London's rare attempts at playwriting, being a three-act adaptation of his short story of the same name.

It is available in London's 1901 collection "The God of His Fathers".Floyd Vanderlip has made it big in the Klondike Gold Rush and has, in unrelated news, caught the eye of the local womenfolk.

Promiscuous dancers, married women and Floyd's actual fiancee all want the 'lip' treatment and so he becomes spolied for choice on the ladies front.A comedy of class, manners and manipulation, "Scorn of Women" takes the reader to the golden age of Yukon Territory, Canada (1896-1899) where London - ever the socialist, brings together all layers of society under one roof in the hunt for that noblest of metals. And while it has been long excavated, nobody will leave the ball with their hands clean.-
