The Golden Thread: Irish Women Playwrights, 1716–2016 is a broadly focused examination of Irish women’s contributions to theatre across three centuries. The essays in the collection represent a range of literary and performance-based approaches; they will be useful both for scholars seeking new points of entry into the field and those broadening their view of more well-known writers.
