For the Love of Art: The Lost History of Women in Kerala Theatre

It traces a “hidden lineage” of women in Kerala’s theatre: women who defied social norms when acting on stage was taboo, and often faced ostracism, abuse or social ostracism — especially during 18th & 19th centuries when women were barred from acting.
