This interdisciplinary study considers a variety of texts and modes of performance in order to clarify the position of women within--and in relation to--modern theatre history. Penny Farfan identifies the different objectives, strategies, possibilities, and limitations of feminist-modernist performance practice. She focuses on Henrik Ibsen, Elizabeth Robins, Ellen Terry, Virginia Woolf, Djuna Barnes, Edith Craig, Radclyffe Hall, and Isadora Duncan.
