Reviews

The most original and substantial contribution that this book makes to women's and theatre studies is in excavating the international dimension of the suffrage theatre movements. This whole area has been neglected, particularly within Anglo-American studies. The contribution to international feminist studies - not just theatre studies - will be considerable. (Professor Vivien Gardner, University of Manchester) The originality and strength of the work lies in the exploration of the contribution of Australian dramatists to the international suffrage movement. This contribution has been overlooked by previous scholars who have underestimated the possible ramifications of these dramatists' status as enfranchised women. (Emerita Professor Julie Holledge, Flinders University)
