Abstract

This co-edited volume takes strides in object theatre’s performance history, and does additional service by interrogating gender issues, past and present. The book shows that writing about puppetry and women is necessary, especially as the work of women in puppetry accelerates internationally. Readers may not agree with all viewpoints; the authors themselves are far from uniform in their sentiments or approaches. But using the lens of gender (which some of the female creators included do not see as a substantive issue in their work), the book delves into deep issues.
