The book is an excellent resource for those who want to know more about Women working in all areas of theatre (acting, directing, producing, managing and designing) Its a collection of essays more than a cohesive story of women in American Theatre. LOVE THIS BOOK!
Will be very useful for my Women In Theatre course.
