Summary

This is a comprehensive study of women playwrights in the British theater from 1820 to 1918. It looks at how they negotiated their personal and professional identities as writers, and examines the female tradition of playwriting which dramatizes the central experience of women's lives around the themes of home, the nation, and the position of women in marriage and the family. The book also includes an extensive Appendix of authors and plays.

Author Biography
