Summary

Staging International Feminisms is a landmark anthology of international feminist theatre research - the first publication of its kind to bring feminist critical attention to theatre, theory, activism and performance in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and North and South Americas. A three-part structure orientates readers through Cartographies of feminist critical navigations of the global arena; the staging of feminist Interventions in a range of international contexts; and Manifestos for today's feminist practitioners, activists and academics. Bringing together wide-ranging, accessible and lively contributions from feminist critics, writers and practitioners of international repute, Staging International Feminisms argues the necessity and urgency for feminism to be at work internationally. It is essential reading for all those with an interest in theatre, performance, cultural studies and women's studies.
