- Description
- As the seventeen women-authored dramas described in this study show, this technique relates to the way in which Spanish American women are finding their voice and expressing their perceived roles in society. Game playing, role playing, and theatrical self-consciousness join together as strategies for allowing these women writers to define themselves and the world around them through the theater.

- Description
- In the first century of the coveted Pulitzer Prizes, only 11 women have won the prize for drama: Zona Gale (1921), Susan Glaspell (1931), Zoe Akins (1935), Mary Coyle Chase (1945), Ketti Frings (1958), Beth Henley (1981), Marsha Norma (1983), Wendy Wasserstein (1989), Paula Vogel (1998), Margaret Edson (1999), and Suzan-Lori Parks (2002). In this book are their stories and the stories of their landmark plays, beginning with Gale’s Miss Lulu Bett, which championed the unmarried woman forced to work in the home of a married relative, and closing with Parks’ controversial Topdog/Underdog, which made her the first black woman to win the prize. .Drawn from personal interviews with the playwrights and research from archives and unpublished material, this work shows how the stage art of women has reflected life in the American family and traces a strong thread of feminist history in our culture. Overview chapters set the stage for each playwright and play with sketches of the time period, highlighting the major points of women’s experiences in culture, society, and the family. Other chapters analyze each play in detail and discuss the playwright’s life and opinions. The book also includes a quick history of the Pulitzer Prize and a chapter honoring black female playwrights.
