"A Woman of No Importance" is a play by Oscar Wilde that satirizes English upper-class society. It was first performed in 1893 and has been revived several times since then. The play revolves around a party at Lady Hunstanton's estate, where the guests engage in social gossip and small talk. The plot unfolds as Lord Illingworth, a powerful political figure, offers a young man named Gerald Arbuthnot a job as his secretary. It is revealed that Gerald is the illegitimate child of Mrs. Arbuthnot and Lord Illingworth, causing tension and conflict. In the end, Mrs. Arbuthnot refuses to marry Lord Illingworth and chooses to prioritize her relationship with her son. The play received mixed reviews upon its release and is considered one of Wilde's weaker works. It has been adapted for film and television multiple times.
