An important contribution to the study of theater, gender, and the feminist theory, this detailed study is broad in scope and has more useful material than many books twice the size. - Choice, July/August 1998 ... the collection offers an engaging feminist perspective on the plays that the author selects. -Steven Winn, San Fancisco Chronicle, March 1998 A fresh, authoritative view of the canon as the seat, not the nemesis, of postmodern gender theory. ... Solomon is convincing and refreshingly nondogmatic. She has the knowledge, style, and suppleness of mind to make bedfellows of revisionists and dead white males. Her dissent is helpful, not dismissive, inclusive, not harsh. This invaluable contribution to the canon wars is rare manna from academia. - Kirkus Reviews, December 1997
