Overview
The theatre of Ana Diosdado and Paloma Pedrero in Spain, and Aida Bortnik and Griselda Gambaro in Argentina, written between 1960 and 1990, reveals an increasing preoccupation with women's issues together with a continuing awareness of problematic political realities. Whether they challenge the strict separation between the private and the public, or whether they choose to uphold that distinction, these authors make the personal political by appropriating the public space - the stage - for the stories of women.Editorials
Booknews
The author's research project on the dynamics between theater and political change became focused on playwrights who had provided an oppositional viewpoint under a dictatorial system of government and then found themselves living in a more permissive cultural and political environment. She traces the work of women playwrights: Ana Diosdado and Paloma Pedrero in Spain, and A<'i>da Bortnik and Griselda Gambaro in Argentina. (With the exception of Gambaro, these dramatists have not been widely studied.) Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.Book Details
