The Little Woman is a 1961 Australian comedy TV play written by Patricia Hooker and broadcast on the ABC.
In a plush suburb on Sydney's North Shore, Marjorie, a young bride arrives home to find a series of surprises in store for her: her husband Henry, a Sydney businessman, keeps his wives instead of divorcing him, and they live together in a state of bliss; the new bride is his sixth.
[3] Hooker was working as a shorthand typist in a city office in 1959 when she wrote the story at home in the evenings.
[3] The Sunday Sydney Morning Herald said it was "bright, breezy and well paced from start to finish.
[9] The Sydney Morning Herald called it "a merry little farce" in which "the plot skidded and skated a bit" but praised the "splendid" performances of Wendy Blacklock and Sophie Stewart.
