This book brings together nearly 40 academics and theatre
practitioners to chronicle and celebrate the courage, determination
and achievements of women on stage across the ages and around the
globe. The collection stretches from ancient Greece to present-day
Australasia via the United States, Soviet Russia, Europe, India,
South Africa and Japan, offering a series of analytical snapshots
of women performers, their work and the conditions in which they
produced it. Individual chapters provide in-depth consideration of
specific moments in time and geography while the volume as a whole
and its juxtapositions stimulate consideration of the bigger
picture, underlining the challenges women have faced across
cultures in establishing themselves as performers and the range of
ways in which they gained access to the stage. Organised
chronologically, the volume looks not just to the past but the
future: it challenges the very notions of 'history', 'stage' and
even the definition of 'women' itself.
