520			_aIn Women in Dramatic Place and Time Geraldine Cousin presents detailed analyses of a wide range of plays by British women dramatists from the last two decades. Cousin focuses on women's dramatic efforts to 'speak out' from the ideological spaces in which they have been positioned. She attends to the processes through which female characters have found their voices, and tracks their journeys into previously uninhabited territories.
