About the author
Born Mary Stewart Doubleday in New York City in 1851, she later married Charles Weed Cutting and wrote under the name Mary Stewart Cutting. Her fiction appeared during a period when magazine short stories were thriving, and she became known for polished, readable tales that often explored domestic life with intelligence and gentle satire.
Her books include The Suburban Whirl, and Other Stories of Married Life, The Unforeseen, and The Wayfarers. She is also remembered as a supporter of woman suffrage, a connection that helps place her within the wider social changes shaping American life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Cutting died in 1924, and her work remains of interest to readers who enjoy character-driven fiction, period detail, and a quietly humorous view of everyday relationships.
