Description
Getting Into the Act: Women Playwrights in London, 1776-1829
This book tells the story of seven female playwrights who achieved professional success against all odds in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. Ellen Donkin explores their struggles with male theatre managers, including accusations of plagiarism and sexual harassment.
Despite the challenges they faced, these women's stories also offer powerful narratives of self-revelation, endurance, and triumph. Their experiences remain relevant today, highlighting the ongoing issues of female representation in playwriting and the need for greater equality in the industry.
