Many women held positions of great responsibility and power in the
United States during the 19th century as theatre managers: managing
stock companies, owning or leasing theatres, hiring actors and
other personnel, selecting plays for production, directing
rehearsals, supervising all production details, and promoting their
dramatic offerings. Competing in risky business ventures, these
women were remarkable for defying societal norms that restricted
career opportunities for women. The activities of more than 50 such
women are discussed in Nineteenth-Century American Women Theatre
Managers, beginning with an account of 15 pioneering women managers
who were all managing theatres before 24 December 1853, when
Catherine Sinclair, often incorrectly identified as the first woman
theatre manager in the United States, opened her theatre in San
Francisco.
