A Commonwealth Of Women

""A Commonwealth of Women"" is a play written by Thomas D'Urfey and first performed at the Theater Royal by Their Majesties Servants in 1886. The play tells the story of a group of women who, tired of being oppressed by the men in their lives, decide to establish their own society where they can govern themselves. The women create a utopian community where they live in harmony and equality, with each member contributing to the betterment of the group. However, their peaceful existence is threatened when a group of men arrive on their island, and the women must decide whether to welcome them or defend their way of life. Through humor and satire, D'Urfey explores themes of gender, power, and societal norms in this thought-provoking play.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
