The chapters explore women''s networks of professional practice in the theatre and performance industries between 1900 and 1950, with a focus on women''s sense andexperience of professional agency in an industry largely controlled by men. The book is divided into two sections: "Female theatre workers in the social and theatrical realm" looks at the relationship between women''s work - on and off stage - and autobiography, activism, technique, touring,education and the law.
