New Woman Plays by Linda Fitzsimmons
Between 1890 and 1914, the burgeoning feminist movement that culminated in the militancy of the suffragettes encouraged an increasing number of women to use theatre to explore women's experience. This book features some of these plays, including Elizabeth Robin's Alan's Wife, Diana of Dobson's by Cicely Hamilton, Elizabeth Baker's Chains and Gina Sowerby's Rutherford and Sons.
