that women playwrights helped create the movement known as Modern

their first English-language translation. Playwrights include: *
Anne-Charlotte Leffler Edgren (Sweden) * Amelai Pincherle Rosselli
(Italy) * Elsa Berstein (Germany) * Elizabeth Robins (Britain) *
Marie Leneru (France) * Alfonsina Storni (Argentina) * Hella
Wuolijoki (Finland) * Hasegawa Shigure (Japan) * Rachilde (France)
* Zinaida Gippius (Russia) * Djuna Barnes (USA) * Marita Bonner
(USA) This groundbreaking anthology explodes the traditional canon.

all of the styles and genres available to the modern dramatist.

scholar, student or lover of modern drama can afford to miss.
