Customer Reviews

A seminal book on feminist theatre in England

Wandor's book is one of the first to look at feminism on the British stage. An accessible and lucid book, it charts English theatre's twentieth century tussle with feminist writers and practitioners. It focuses on sexual politics in the arena of British theatre. Her next book, Look Back in Gender is also excellent and a good companion to Understudies. Other similar books written later are Aston's Feminist Theatre, Case's Feminist Theater & Godiwala's Breaking the Bounds.
