In contrast to other literary genres, drama has received little
attention in southern studies, and women playwrights in general
receive less recognition than their male counterparts. In
Marginalized: Southern Women Playwrights Confront Race, Region, and
Gender, author Casey Kayser addresses these gaps by examining the
work of southern women playwrights, making the argument that
representations of the American South on stage are complicated by
difficulties of identity, genre, and region. Through analysis of
the dramatic texts, the rhetoric of reviews of productions, as well
as what the playwrights themselves have said about their plays and
productions, Kayser delineates these challenges and argues that
playwrights draw on various conscious strategies in response. These
strategies, evident in the work of such playwrights as Pearl
Cleage, Sandra Deer, Lillian Hellman, Beth Henley, Marsha Norman,
and Shay Youngblood, provide them with the opportunity to lead
audiences to reconsider monolithic understandings of northern and
southern regions and, ultimately, create new visions of the South.
