Description:

GEP/GFR: Meets AH. This course examines the issues of gender identification as they are presented through dramatic writing and theatre performance.

Plays by such writers as Euripides, Strindberg, Shaw, Lorca, Glaspell, Shange and Churchill will be studied through their historical, social and theatrical traditions to understand more fully what creates a context for these current female images.
