TH-366   Women Playwrights (Variable; Variable; 3.00 Credits; H,CS) Women playwrights are generally " under-studied " and " under-read " in academia. A hot focus on " gender " in our study would miss a whole universe of other ideas in these plays. Such a singular study would also promote the very thinking that these playwrights would avoid-that they first " women " and then " playwrights " . And yet, look up a few inches to the title of the course. It is a hard trap to avoid, especially when trying to look at an under-studied group of artist. Still, let's admit that the course needs a title and that we are studying plays written only by women. Let's also commit to pursuing lines of thinking and discussion that honor these playwrights and plays vital to our contemporary theatre.
