Contents:
“Pioneering Canadian Theatre: Lost Women” studies a body of early Canadian women’s theatre and situates that theatre in the context of the early “woman movement” and related movements of social reform as they bear upon issues of gender, race, and class in post-colonial Canada. Largely written about and for women – both those on the stage and in the audience -- these plays explore late nineteenth and early twentieth-century ideas, ideologies, and discourses of liberation, interrogation, and revolt against patriarchy and express a belief in the possibility of social change.
