Book Synopsis Women in the American Theatre by : Faye E. Dudden
Book excerpt: Through a series of biographical sketches of female performers and managers, Dudden provides a discussion of the conflicted messages conveyed by the early theatre about what it meant to be a woman. It both showed women as sex objects and provided opportunities for careers.
