Description
"Women writing for the stage today are the heirs of a neglected but not negligible tradition. This anthology brings together for the first time five of the best plays written by America's 'forgotten' women playwrights before 1930. Fasion is a social comedy that brilliantly satirizes the status-hungry nouveau riche of urban America; A Man's World examines the working woman's domain and the injustice of the double standard; Trifles is a perfectly constructed short play about a woman accused of murdering her husband; Miss Lulu Bett, the first play by a woman to win the Pulitzer Prize, is about a single woman who becomes virtually enslaved by her family; and Machinal portrays a young woman trapped in a materialistic machine age. This outstanding collection of plays explores the choices and changes that have challenged women for generations--through five fresh, timeless voices."--Back cover.
