Politics of Gender: Women and Theatre (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781365076800)

Bertolt Brecht's theory and practice have had a strong influence on Women's Theatre since the theorization of the social gests; epic structure and alienation effect provide the means to reveal what might have been hidden. Hence there is a need to modify the methods of representation to cater to the needs of women's theatre. There has been a growing belief that the plays written by women would prove more effective in terms of expressing the issues of their concern. Brecht did not talk about the equality of sexes or the gender politics; however he did voice time and again the need to hit the evils in society and ultimately desired to change the society. This could be implied to the problems of suppression and marginalization of women.
