Women, Modernism, and Performance is an interdisciplinary 2004 study that considers a wide variety of sources in order to clarify the position of women within - and in relation to - modern theatre history. Penny Farfan reveals how playwrights, actors and critics transformed the representation of gender in art and life.

Críticas:

"...marks the culmination of a decade of research and will doubtless open new avenues of thought for theatre historians, performance theorists, literary scholars, and anyone interested in what the author calls 'feminist performance practice in the modernist context'." -English Literature in Transition, Michel W. Pharand, Hokkaido Bunkyo University

"...the text provides a fascinating and fresh lookat midern theatre history and serves as a provocative model for historical research." - Margaret F. Savilonis, independent scholar

"Farfan's judicious reappraisal of her modernist revolutionaries--we might think of them as General Gabler's daughters--makes an invaluable contribution to feminist theatre history." Letters in Canada 2004 Andrew Sofer

"Penny Farfan's new interdisciplinary study, Women, Modernism, and Performance broadens the definition of performance beyond what some readers may expect, but the payoff that comes from her series of linked essays will excite those interested in any of her title terms. Farfan brackets these essays effectively, introducing the scholars of feminist studies, modernism, and theatre with which her interpretations most resonate, while also revealing the architecture of the book for the reader." - Kate Egerton, Indiana University South Bend
