The Drama of Gender

New York, Bern, Berlin, Bruxelles, Frankfurt/M., Oxford, Wien, 2000, 2002. Wor(l)ds of Change: Latin American and Iberian Literature. Vol. 38 General Editor: Kathleen March The Drama of Gender fills the scholarly gap between women's dramaturgy and feminism as women manifest themselves on contemporary stages across the Americas. The plays examined - Lua nua by Leilah Assuao, Simply Maria or the American Dream by Josefina Lopez, ... Y a otra cosa mariposa by Susana Torres Molina, and Cocinar hombres by Carmen Boullosa - exhibit a desire to deconstruct patriarchal notions of gendered roles and behaviors, compulsory heterosexuality, and dramatic forms.
