Lonely Women is a radio soap opera that was broadcast in the United States during World War II.

Her entry on the Jewish Women's Archive website notes her contributions to the genre as follows:Working with a full-time secretary and staff of writers and researchers, Phillips produced five daytime serials during the early 1940s.

Among her most popular radio soap operas were The Guiding Light, Woman in White, The Right to Happiness, Lonely Women, and The ‘New’ Today’s Children.

Known for her trademark cliff-hangers, the use of organ music to create moods, and the “crossover” (when characters from one show appeared on another), she was among the first scriptwriters to utilize the amnesia victim and the murder trial.

In contrast with other radio soap operas, which typically endorsed traditional visions of domesticity and femininity, Phillips’s serials frequently conveyed the complexities of modern women’s choices.
