In this book, Wendy Arons examines how women writers used theater
and performance to investigate the problem of female subjectivity
and to intervene in the dominant discourse about ideal femininity.
Arons shows how contemporary demands for sincerity and authenticity
placed a peculiar burden on women in the public sphere, especially
on actresses, who - like professional writers - overstepped the
boundaries of what was considered proper behavior for women.
Paradoxically, in their representations of ideal women engaged in
performance, these writers expose ideal femininity as an impossible
act, even as they attempt to perform it in their writing and in
their lives.
