A diverse collection of monologues featuring the voices of women through the
ages
Drawn from poetry, fiction, diaries, journals, and documents of public record,
these selections, although not originally intended for theatrical or cinematic
performances, offer unique dramatic opportunities for actors, speakers,
students, or anyone interested in women's studies.
Stefan Rudnicki has brought together selections from well-known as
well as obscure authors, providing a tremendous range of women's perspectives
from a variety of sources: poems by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Emily Dickinson,
Christina Rossetti, and Sappho, among others; passages from Mary Shelley's
journal, the diaries of Anais Nin, and the memoirs of Isadora Duncan; polemics
from Mary Wollstonecraft and Joan of Arc, as well as Susan B. Anthony's "On
Woman's Right to Suffrage"; and selections from the novels of Emily and
Charlotte Bronte, Jane Austen, Ursula K. LeGuin, and others.
