| book description |

This is the story behind one of the most important â€“ yet largely forgotten â€“ women in American theater during the early 20th century. Rachel Crothers was renowned for her ability to command all aspects of a stage productionâ€”unusual for playwrights and even more so for a woman of this time period. Rachel Crothers: Broadway Innovator, Feminist Pioneer celebrates her remarkable skill and feminism, from her experiences as a young actress in Illinois and New York to the success of her first play in 1906 and beyond. Crothers integrated themes of double standards, prostitution, and womenâ€™s rights in her work, and she went on to become President of the Stage Womenâ€™s War Relief Fund through both World Wars and the Great Depression. Incorporating extensive archival material, this book also discusses each of Crotherâ€™s plays with careful consideration for her attention to detail, character influences, motivations for social justice, and creative vision.
