Rezensionen

'As it stands, the study is an invaluable survey of how motherhood has been represented in women's writing for the theatre during the last fifty years. It is an impressive introduction to the topic, and offers a discussion of rare material for those specializing in post-1956 British theatre or theatre by women.' - Carina Bartleet, Theatre Research International
