The Drama of Gender

The Drama of Gender fills the scholarly gap between women¿s dramaturgy and feminism as women manifest themselves on contemporary stages across the Americas. The plays examined ¿ Lua nua by Leilah Assução, Simply Maria or the American Dream by Josefina Lopez, ...Y a otra cosa mariposa by Susana Torres Molina, and Cocinar hombres by Carmen Boullosa ¿ exhibit a desire to deconstruct patriarchal notions of gendered roles and behaviors, compulsory heterosexuality, and dramatic forms.
