At last an accessible and intelligent introduction to the energising and challenging relationship between feminism and theatre.
In this clear and enlightening book, Aston discusses wide-ranging theoretical topics and provides case studies including:
* Feminism and theatre history
* `M/Othering the self': French feminist theory and theatre
* Black women: shaping feminist theatre
* Performing gender: a materialist practice
* Colonial landscapes
Feminist thought is changing the way theatre is taught and practised. An Introduction to Feminism and Theatre is compulsory reading for anyone who requires a precise, insightful and up-to-date guide to this dynamic field of study.

Industry Reviews
"Gives newcomers to the field access especially to some very tough theoretical material in a way that I think is a real service ... I applaud the measured lucidity of Aston's prose."-Ellen Donkin "Comprehensive, literate, sensitive to all sorts of quite touchy issues in feminist politics, and will be a good starting point for any student in the field."-J. S. Bratton, University of London
