Its greatest contribution, I think, is its advice to critics, readers, and consumers of American theatre: the American South is not a monolith, indivisible and uniform, and southern women's plays should neither be overlooked nor misread. They are far too smart for that.--Amy R. Martin ""Southern Review of Books"" Marginalized remains a convincing, original and well-written monograph on a relevant and seemingly invisible topic in which its author successfully integrates different fields and ideas toward a productive, nuanced study of contemporary southern women playwrights and the issues of region, gender and race.--Andrea Pelegrí Kristic ""Theatre Research International"" In demonstrating that regional differences can become not only barriers to communication but also pathways into our understanding of ourselves and others, Marginalized provides us with another important tool for exploring issues of race, class, gender, and sexuality.--Susan N. Mayberry ""Tulsa Studies in Women's Literature"" Nuanced and tempered throughout, Marginalized: Southern Women Playwrights Confront Race, Region, and Gender is a provocative study that greatly extends our understanding of the various minefields that southern women writers navigate when they write for the stage.--Will Brantley, author of Feminine Sense in Southern Memoir: Smith, Glasgow, Welty, Hellman, Porter, and Hurston

Nuanced and tempered throughout, Marginalized: Southern Women Playwrights Confront Race, Region, and Gender is a provocative study that greatly extends our understanding of the various minefields that southern women writers navigate when they write for the stage.
