Description
Short story.
Looks at the parallels between two plays in terms of the subject matter and the dramatic techniques used. For example, bingo, is used as a symbol and illustration of women's consumerism and of the spiritual emptiness in their lives.
Discusses a play, The Book of Jessica, that illustrates the struggle women have in understanding what being "a woman" means, including across the barriers of race, culture, privilege and age.
Material divided into seven categories: graphic novel, nonfiction, novel, play, poetry, short stories, and stories. Each entry contains summary, information about the author and list of titles also written by them.
