Truthful portrayals force consideration of both the startling reality of women's violence — not how it's been sensationalized or demonized or sexualized, but how it \u003ci\u003eis \u003c\/i\u003e— and what parameters, what possibilities, \u003ci\u003eshould \u003c\/i\u003eexist for its enactment in life and live theatre. These women appear in a wide array of contexts: they are mothers, daughters, lovers, streetfighters, boxers, soldiers, and dominatrixes. Who they are and why they choose to use violence varies dramatically. They stage resistance and challenge normative expectations for women. This fascinating and balanced study will appeal to anyone interested in gender\/feminism issues and theatre.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2019-06-06\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319860541\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-57006-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 410\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47697305141388,"sku":"9783319860541","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319860541_eb36b986-f116-4d78-8f46-7b2104c635eb.jpg?v=1776778570","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319860541","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
