Complicating the Female Subject (eBook, PDF)

Gender, National Myths, and Genre in Polish Women's Inter-War Drama

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

In the 1930s, seven plays by Polish women writers created a flurry of excitement and condemnation as these women dared to question national myths, reinterpret the definition of subject, and subvert genre expectations. This study interrogates the feminism of these shocking dramas. Professor of Polish and Russian at Northern Illinois University, Joanna Kot has written extensively on Polish and Russian modernist drama, including the monograph Distance Manipulation: The Russian Modernist Search for a New Drama. Her recent work focuses on 1930s Polish women playwrights as important predecessors to contemporary feminist drama.
