''Women Beware Women'' is a Jacobean tragedy written by Thomas Middleton, and first published in 1657. ==Date== The date of authorship of the play is deeply uncertain. Scholars have estimated its origin anywhere from 1612 to 1627;〔Terence P. Logan and Denzell S. Smith, eds., ''The Popular School: A Survey and Bibliography of Recent Studies in English Renaissance Drama'', Lincoln, Nebraska, University of Nebraska Press, 1975; p. 71.〕 1623–24 has been plausibly suggested.〔Dorothy M. Farr, ''Thomas Middleton and the Drama of Realism'', New York, Barnes & Noble/Harper & Row, 1973; pp. 125–7.〕 The play was entered into the Stationers' Register on 9 September 1653 by the bookseller Humphrey Moseley, along with two other Middleton plays, ''More Dissemblers Besides Women'' and ''No Wit, No Help Like a Woman's''. In 1657 Moseley published ''Women Beware Women'' together with ''More Dissemblers'' in an octavo volume titled ''Two New Plays''. Both the Register entry and the first edition's title page assign ''Women Beware Women'' to Middleton — an attribution which has never been seriously questioned and which is accepted by the scholarly consensus.〔David J. Lake, ''The Canon of Thomas Middleton's Plays'', Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 1975; p. 27.〕 No performances of the play in its own era are known. The octavo text of the play is prefaced by a commendatory poem by Nathaniel Richards, author of ''The Tragedy of Messalina'' (published 1640). Thomas Dekker's play ''Match Me in London'' (written c. 1612, but printed in 1631) has a plot that is strongly similar to ''Women Beware'', though with a happy ending rather than a tragic conclusion.〔Logan and Smith, p. 16.〕
