Feminism and Theatre"First published in 1988, this study by Sue-Ellen Case is now regarded as a classic in the field, serving as both an important introduction to, and an overview of, the relationship between feminism and theatre. It raises questions for the feminist historian who inherits a tradition of theatre history in which women playwrights and actresses are conspicuously absent, and constructs an alternative history of what women have done." -- book cover |
