A collection of plays that spotlights women whose professions are pitted against their gender. Each play in this collection explores an imagined moment in the life of a little-known scientist sidelined by gender. Six brilliant women--Pythias of Assos, Susanna Lister, Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin, Lise Meitner, Esther Lederberg, and Barbara McClintock--vibrantly inhabit these pages (and stages) at points where their personal and professional selves intersect. These plays can be performed together as an evening of theater for smart audiences.
