Wendy Wasserstein

Late 20th century playwright Wendy Wasserstein’s works were popular — and remain so — but garnered criticism from some feminists for not being incisive or provocative enough. In Wendy Wasserstein (University of Michigan Press), Dean of the College and theatre professor Jill Dolan attempts to analyze several of her plays keeping in mind the state of the U.S. feminist movement when they were written.
