An important new student source book for colleges, universities,
and libraries, this is an anthology of the best short plays by
female dramatists concerning woman suffrage. Launched in
conjunction with "Classic Plays by Women."
The astonishing women involved in the Actresses Franchise League
set up their own theatre companies and engaged with the battle for
the vote by writing and performing campaigning plays all over the
country. They launched themselves onto the political stage with
their satirical plays, sketches and monologues whilst at the same
time challenging the staid conventions of the Edwardian Theatre of
the day. The legacy of their inspiring work to change both theatre
and society has survived in the political theatre, agit-prop and
verbatim theatre we know today.
