Wood began her professional life as a journalist, using the byline Ruby Ross Goodnow (her first married name). She wrote fiction, poetry, and articles about interior design for The Delineator, a popular women's magazine. Wood also wrote a well-regarded series of articles about architecture that became the basis of an equally popular book, The Honest House. FORN-TUB-0048-BB-2406-JC938
