This groundbreaking study interrogates the feminism of these plays and their authors, who dared to question national myths, subvert genre expectations, and reinterpret definitions of subjectivity, anticipating the work of numerous women playwrights in post-1989 Poland. Synthesizing a variety of theoretical perspectives, the author produces a nuanced reading of each work and of the group as a whole. Both texts and the innovative synthetic approach will interest scholars of Polish literature, of drama, and of gender studies. 606 $aWomen in literature 606 $aPolish drama$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPolish drama$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFeminism in literature 615 0$aWomen in literature. 615 0$aPolish drama$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPolish drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFeminism in literature. 676 $a809.93352042 686 $aKO 1100$2rvk 700 $aKot$b Joanna$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.$01232538 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910158624403321 996 $aComplicating the Female Subject$92861847 997 $aUNINA
