'Tis an awkward thing to play with souls, - and, to my mind,
Greenwich Village has a very personal soul that requires very
personal and very careful handling. This little foreword is to
crave pardon humbly if my touch has not been light, or deft, or
sure. There are so many things that I may have left out, so many
ways in which I must have erred. And I want to thank people too, -
just here. So many people there are to thank! I cannot simply
dismiss the matter with the usual acknowledgment of a list of
authorities - to which, by the bye, I have tried to cling as though
they were life-buoys in a stormy sea of research! There are the
kindly individuals, - J.H. Henry, Vincent Pepe, William van der
Weyde, J.B. Martin, and the rest, - who have so generously placed
their own extensive information and collected material at my
disposal. And there are the small army of librarians and clerks and
secretaries and so on, who have given me unlimited patience and
most encouraging personal interest.
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.
