Implicitly, this study calls into question what traditionally constitutes drama by treating plays written in non-canonical forms, mounted in nonprofessional venues, and published by marginal presses or not at all as important literary, theatrical, and historical documents Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 239-255) and index Notes Print version record Subject Canadian drama -- Women authors -- History and criticism Feminism and literature -- Canada -- History -- 19th century Feminism and literature -- Canada -- History -- 20th century Women and literature -- Canada -- History -- 19th century Women and literature -- Canada -- History -- 20th century Canadian drama -- 19th century -- History and criticism Canadian drama -- 20th century -- History and criticism Feminist drama -- History and criticism Women -- Canada -- Intellectual life Sex role in literature.
