As a founding member of the Algonquin Round Table, a group of New York intellectuals, she stood out for her participation in literary salons and her biting criticism of society and literature of the time. Her poetic work, often marked by melancholy and sarcasm, deals with themes such as love, divorce, and the disillusionments of urban life. Parker also had a significant career in film as a screenwriter, being nominated several times for an Oscar.
