RESEARCH PROMPT #2
Women were virtually unrepresented in theatre for hundreds of years. Thankfully, however, several contemporary female playwrights have emerged with significant plays dealing with feminist issues. Research and discover one of these playwrights (writers such as Marsha Norman, Tina Howe, Paula Vogel, and many others). Write about how this person became a writer. What is the content of several of her plays? Where are her plays performed? Have any been converted to film? What do critics have to write about her plays?
