The Methuen Drama Book of Suffrage Plays: Taking the Stage features a wide variety of short pieces and one-act plays written by female and male suffragist writers between 1908-1914.
Spanning different styles and genres they explore many issues that interested feminist and suffragist campaigners such as: the value of women's work, domestic and economic inequality, visibility in public space, direct action and its consequences, sexual double standards, and the influence of the media on public opinion. Edited and introduced by Dr Naomi Paxton, the anthology is brimming with in-depth knowledge, photographs and contextual information of the period making for an informative and inspirational volume that's perfect for both performance and study.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Methuen DramaISBN-13:9781350082984ISBN-10:1350082988UPC:9781350082984Book Category:Drama, Social ScienceBook Subcategory:Anthologies (multiple authors), Gender Studies, EuropeanBook Topic:English, Irish, Scottish, WelshSize:7.81 x 5.06 x 0.57 inchesWeight:0.268Product ID:SCV3MKCB9G
