Women Heroes

Synopsis

Six short plays from the Women's Project

(Applause Books). The English Channel, the United States Government, Hitler, cancer these are a few of the obstacles which these extraordinary women hurdle on their way to ticker tape parades, prison cells and anonymous fates.

These are not theatrical accolades to daring public feats; the inner frontiers we learn, are the most treacherous to navigate.

So these figures are not statues in the park being polished for public view.

And not "heroines" in a male melodrama, but heroes in their own right, and in their own world meet them in Julia Miles' new collection from The Women's Project.
