The Wonder of Women or The Tragedy of Sophonisba is an early Jacobean stage play written by the satiric dramatist John Marston.

[1] The play tells the story of the Carthaginian princess Sophonisba, who is being lustfully pursued by an unwanted suitor, the lecherous and unscrupulous Syphax, despite her having recently married the noble warrior Massinissa.

Ultimately, Sophonisba commits suicide so that Massinissa will not be forced to break two conflicting vows: to keep his wife free from Roman bondage and to deliver her to Scipio.

In his brief introduction to the play, editor H. Harvey Wood even declares that "[Marston's] style in Sophonisba is almost grotesquely strained and inflated in an attempt to match the dignity of the subject and the import of the occasion".

The play's themes include the difficulty of acting honorably in a corrupt society, and the importance of maintaining personal integrity.
