This book is a collection of plays that tell the story of women in the turn-of-the-century America. The forward is just a history of plays that were written by women authors. I never knew before I read the forward that there were practically no women playwrights at this time. I guess I just overlooked it.
The plays in this collection are all wonderful in their own right. The most engaging play had to be A Man's World by Rachel Crothers. It's very convential in the writing and the setting, but unconvential in that it protrays a srtong woman as a normal human being, not a plot device. It also shows a woman not giving up her morals for the sake of a man. I think that this play should be required reading in high school. If they were to put this play in high schools, then maybe some women would see that their morals are not stupid. Or maybe they won't.
