A timely volume full of original research, the book explores women?s complex negotiations of their agency over both their labour and public representation, and their use of personal and professional networks to sustain their careers. Including a series of case studies that explore a range of well-known and lesser-known women working in theatre, film and popular performance of the period. The volume is divided into two connected parts. ?Female theatre workers in the social and theatrical realm? looks at the relationship between women?s work ? on- and offstage ? and autobiography, activism, technique, touring, education and the law. Part II, ?Women and popular performance?, focuses on the careers of individual artists, once household names, including Lily Brayton, Ellen Terry, radio star Mabel Constanduros, and Oscar-winning film star Margaret Rutherford. Overall, the book provides new and vibrant cultural histories of women?s work in the theatre and performance industries of the period. 410 0$aWomen, theatre and performance. 606 $aWomen in the theater$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aTheater and society$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aTheater$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 610 $awomen 610 $atheatre 610 $aprofessionalisation 610 $aprofessional networks 610 $atheatre historiography 615 0$aWomen in the theater$xHistory 615 0$aTheater and society$xHistory 615 0$aTheater$xHistory 676 $a792.082 700 $aGale $b Maggie B$4auth$01430794 702 $aGale$b Maggie B$g(Maggie Barbara),$f1963- 702 $aDorney$b Kate$f1975- 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996552367703316 996 $aStage women, 1900?50$93570696 997 $aUNISA
