Case makes a strong acknowledgment of the limitations of the primer material, but also a few concerning missteps: the big whoopsie is the editorial error of listing bell hooks as ‘bell [sic] hook’ in several places.

Chapters 2(Women Pioneers), 3 (Personal Theatre), and 4 (Radical Feminism and Theatre) draw on a variety of sources and present stimulating observations! Would peruse those again as a starting point for future research and reading.

Phenomenal. Straightforward, thorough, aware of when and why it is incomplete.

Nu kan jag vara lite partisk eftersom jag sitter och slutspurtar på min kandidatuppsats i teatervetenskap. men! detta är en liten fantastisk och lättförsåetlig bok. Inte den bästa om man letar teorier och metoder men Case går igenom kvinnor, feminism och teater i olika former på ett bra sätt.
