Diana Koloini’s Women in Molière’s comedies is a groundbreaking study, which will soon become a landmark not only in Molière Studies but also in feminist readings of the image and role of women in (French and European) classical theater. It should become a “must-read” in every curriculum in the humanities. Professor Patrice Pavis, University of Paris; Honorary Fellow, University of London. Koloini's Women in Molière’s comedies does not fall into the trap of trying to make a plea for or against Molière's feminism. Instead, it focuses masterfully on the often overlooked complexity and diversity of his female characters. This makes it not so much a book about Molière, but de facto a book about women – through the spyglass of Molière's comedies. Alenka Zupančič, The European Graduate School
