BOOKS

From Winning the Vote to Directing on Broadway
by PAMELA COBRIN

This book examines how women shaped theatre and how theatre shaped women during the most explosive time in American women’s history: from pre-enfranchisement through 1920, when women won the right to vote. From Winning the Vote to Directing on Broadway asks readers to reconsider their current understanding of history, specifically, the way in which that history has shaped our current understanding of the early twentieth-century American woman and by implication how the early twentieth-century woman shaped contemporary theatre.
