Cousin focuses on women's dramatic efforts to 'speak out' from the ideological spaces in which they have been positioned. She attends to the processes through which female characters have found their voices, and tracks their journeys into previously uninhabited territories.8 aThe plays considered include Queen Christina (Pam Gems), My Mother Said I Never Should (Charlotte Keatley), Real Estate (Louise Page), The Grace of Mary Traverse (Timberlake Wertenbaker), Leave Taking (Winsome Pinnock), The Skriker (Caryl Churchill), and After Easter (Anne Devlin).8 aWomen in Dramatic Place and Time offers exciting insights into the diversity and excellence of contemporary plays by women. It is invaluable reading for students of contemporary British theatre, literature, and women's studies, as well as anyone interested in women's writing. 0aEnglish dramay20th centuryxHistory and criticism. 0aWomen in literature.
