InWomen in Dramatic Place and TimeGeraldine Cousins presents detailed analyses of a wide range of plays by British women dramatists from the 1980s and '90s. She focuses on women's dramatic efforts to "speak out" of 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. The plays she considers include: Pam Gem'sQueen Christina, Charlotte Keatley'sMy Mother Said I Never Should, Louise Page'sReal Estate, Timberlake Wertenbaker'sThe Grace of Mary Traverse, Winsome Pinnock'sLeave Taking, Caryl Churchill'sThe Skrikerand Anne Devlin'sAfter Easter.
