This is a collection of interviews with 31 women playwrights, mostly American, although English, French, Hispanic, and Oriental playwrights are represented. The questions address two points: the playwright's individual development, themes, dramaturgy, and advice to new writers; and feminist issues, especially the recurring question of a feminist aesthetic. The responses are as varied as the personalities, and uneven in their depth. There is no strong consensus on the issue of a feminine aesthetic, although the idea that men's plays are structured by action while women's plays are structured by states of being is a provocative position mentioned several times. However, such a dichotomy is too simplistic. Of interest to those studying contemporary theater, or feminist literature. Recommended, but to a limited audience. Thomas E. Luddy, English Department, Salem State Coll., Mass.
