Glenn, Susan A. Female Spectacle: The Theatrical Roots of Modern Feminism
Harvard University Press September 15, 2 0-674-00990-8 / 9780674009905 Paperback Near Fine
When the French actress Sarah Bernhardt made her first American tour in 188 0, the term "feminism" had not yet entered our national vocabulary. But ove r the course of the next half-century, a rising generation of daring actres ses and comics brought a new kind of woman to center stage. Exploring and e xploiting modern fantasies and fears about female roles and gender identity , these performers eschewed theatrical convention and traditional notions o f womanly modesty. They created powerful images of themselves as ambitious, independent, and sexually expressive "New Women."
