Funny, biting, short and powerful, these plays are perfect for colleges, youth theatres and amateur dramatic societies who want to explore how an earlier generation dealt with misogyny.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe astonishing women involved in the Actresses Franchise League set up their own theatre companies and engaged with the battle for the vote by writing and performing campaigning plays all over the country. They launched themselves onto the political stage with their satirical plays, sketches and monologues whilst at the same time challenging the staid conventions of the Edwardian Theatre of the day. The legacy of their inspiring work to change both theatre and society has survived in the political theatre, agit-prop and verbatim theatre we know today. Introduced and set in an historical context by Dr Susan Croft together with a chronology of suffrage drama.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Robins,Cicely Hamilton,Inez Bensusan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1906582017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781906582012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Aurora Metro Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/20\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 255\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.80w x 0.60d","brand":"Elizabeth Robins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445844160767,"sku":"9781906582012","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8e3ad182-d80b-45ab-a90f-f3d0db90bf44.jpg?v=1777221011","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/votes-for-women-and-other-elizabeth-robins-9781906582012","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
