"In this exciting new anthology, Wesley Brown and Aim e K. Michel bring together six wonderfully teachable plays by some of the greatest American women dramatists of the past fifty years– Ntozake Shange, Suzan-Lori Parks, Paula Vogel, Lynn Nottage, Beth Henley, and Susan Yankowitz. The editors provide a helpful Introduction to the last 100 years of theatrical activity, from suffrage and anti-lynching plays, through the explosive 1960s, to recent Broadway triumphs, highlighting women’s struggle-a struggle that continues–to put their vision and voices on the American stage."
