520 "The bitter and public court battle waged between Nina and
James Walker of Newport, Rhode Island from 1909 to 1916
created a sensation throughout the nation with lurid
accounts of--and gossip about--their marital troubles. The
ordeal of this high-society couple, who wed as much for
status as for love, is one of the prime examples of the
growing trend of women seeking divorce during the early
twentieth century. Gross Misbehavior and Wickedness--the
charges Nina levied at James for his adultery (with the
family governess) and extreme cruelty--recounts the
protracted legal proceedings in juicy detail. Jean Elson
uses court documents, correspondence, journals, and
interviews with descendants to recount the salacious case.
In the process, she underscores how divorce--in an era
when women needed husbands for economic support--was
associated with women's aspirations for independence and
rights. The Walkers' dispute, replete with plot twists and
memorable characters, sheds light on a critical period in
the evolution of American culture"--|cProvided by
