Fans of theatre and those with a respect for the women who have created it will want to add the book From Aphra Behn to Fun Home: A Cultural History of Feminist Theater to their collection. Written by theatre historian and journalist Carey Purcell, the book is an essential read for anyone who knows that women have struggled to be heard in the male-dominated profession of playwriting. Purcell walks us through history, pointing out the places where women’s voices have shown through, shaping and redefining the art of playwriting.
