- Summary:
- "This collection of essays, covering a broad historical range, shows that women working in theatre and drama since the time of Aphra Behn have been engaged in pushing the boundaries of conventional representation and dramaturgical convention. Collectively the authors show that women have used performing spaces as a channel for both political and personal radicalism--one that has demanded and celebrated experimentalism as a kind of survival in a male dominated world"-- Provided by publisher.
