Feminist Theatre Groups - Dinah Luise Leavitt

Really useful book on Feminist theatre – why does it exist and what is it? 

Also looks at the women’s movement within theatre; the successes, criticism and problems by looking at a few different companies. One chapter also focuses on comparing it to political theatre of the 1930s and the Black theatre movement. (does tend to focus largely on Feminist Theatre in America; includes a list of them at the end) 

'Feminist theatres have made their work accessible to sectors of the public that rarely experience plays, through tours and performances not only in theatres but wherever an audience could be gathered.' page 103
