About the Book:This book highlights one of the cohesive factors of the feminist movement – sisterhood ties and female bonding. The plays taken for the study are Beth Henley’s Pulitzer Prize winning plays – Crimes of the Heart and Marsha Norman’s minimalist gem – Third and Oak: The Laundromat wherein the theme of sisterhood is used as a constructive resource. In addition to these, this book genuinely culls out the legacy of American feminist playwrights from the pre-independence era to the present. Further, the birth and growth of the feminist movement in the west, with a special focus on American feminist critics are traced. The book concludes by revealing the theatrical techniques and devices incorporated in these two soul-stirring plays.
