The Birth of Grapevine Health The COVID pandemic has taught the
world many things, but one of the most crucial is the need to
communicate tailored health information through trusted messengers
effectively. The Birth of Grapevine Health chronicles the
experiences of one physician, Dr. Lisa Fitzpatrick, a CDC-trained
medical epidemiologist, on a mission to deliver trusted health
information to the black community and why she started Grapevine
Health, a community and health outreach organization that aims to
improve patient engagement and health literacy in underserved
communities through the digital delivery of tailored health
messages. Fitzpatrick reveals why she began building an
organization that, in 2020, appeared tailored for the Covid 19
pandemic long before that crisis unfolded across the globe.
Frustrated by the lack of progress in addressing health inequity,
Dr. Lisa moved into an under-resourced community to become proximal
enough to better understand health inequity and the structural and
policy changes needed to address it. She weaves her professional
experiences with storytelling and lessons learned into a call to
action for healthcare leaders, decisionmakers and funders to move
beyond data collection and shift toward action to focus on health
prevention, move our health support further upstream and
ultimately, improve health outcomes for underserved communities.
The Birth of Grapevine Health is part memoir, part health equity
playbook and offers a roadmap to actions needed to achieve health
equity. At a time when health equity conversations seem ubiquitous,
what sets the Birth of Grapevine Health apart is its embrace and
integration of community voice. This book delivers deep insights
and, at times, uncomfortable advice through the eyes of black and
brown patients and their communities about what it will take to
achieve health equity.

This anthology provides access to neglected theatrical work and
broadens our understanding of the history of Irish theatre as well
as the vital role of women within it. The introduction places these
plays in dialogue with one another as well as within the national
context of the repealing of women’s rights during the Irish Free
State years. These are plays by authors including Mary Manning,
Dorothy Macardle, Mary Devenport O’Neill, Kate O'Brien and
Margaret O’Leary, which are difficult to access, but which are
increasingly visible in Irish theatre scholarship. This unique
collection places the playwrights in dialogue to form a tradition
of women’s theatrical work that challenges the male-dominated
literary canon of Irish theatre, as well as enriching the body of
women’s theatrical work in the Anglophone world during the
interwar years. Includes the plays: Kate O’Brien –
Distinguished Villa (1926) Margaret O’Leary – The Woman (1929)
Mary Manning – Youth’s the Season (1931) Dorothy Macardle –
Witch’s Brew (1931) Mary Devenport O’Neill – Bluebeard (1933)
This book investigates the representation of rape in British and
Irish theatre since the second wave of the Women's Movement. Mainly
focusing on the period from the 1990s to the present, it identifies
key feminist debates on rape and gender, and introduces a set of
ideas about the function of rape as a form of embodied, gendered
violence to the analysis of dramaturgical and performance
strategies used in a range of important and/or controversial works.
The chapters explore the dramatic representation of consent;
feminist performance strategies that interrogate common attitudes
to rape and rape survivors; the use of rape as an allegory for
political oppression; the relationships of vulnerability, eroticism
and affect in the understanding and representation of sexual
violence; and recent work that engages with anti-rape activism to
present women's personal experiences on stage.

Over the last twenty years Deirdre Kinahan has emerged as a
significant and original female voice in Irish theatre, with her
plays produced in Ireland, the UK, the USA and across mainland
Europe. Her work explores issues of personal and communal identity,
bringing forward the difficulties that arise for individuals when
accepted narratives of identity diverge from contemporary
experience. In this collection of ten original essays, and an
interview with the playwright, the authors address the ways in
which Kinahan's plays interrogate and seek to renegotiate value
systems of family, class, ethnicity, age and gender in the 21st
century neoliberal, secular state, with an emphasis on experimental
forms and the renewal of the genre of the family play. Theoretical
frameworks rely on feminism, intersectionality, genre studies, and
age studies, among other approaches, by authors from Ireland, the
UK, Hungary, the USA, Nigeria, Canada and Taiwan.
