First published in 1992, the twenty-one original essays in this
volume explore the way women have used humor to break down cultural
stereotypes between the genders. Examples from literature and the
performing arts deal with humor and violence, humor and disability,
humor and the supposition of women's shame, lesbian and ethnic
humor, and particularly women's responses to men's humor. The
essayists present traditional issues from new perspectives and take
us from Italy in the Renaissance to today's New York comedy clubs.
They may make you laugh; they may make you nervous. They will
certainly make you reevaluate the importance of placing women at
the center of a discussion of comedy.
