Big Time Women From Way Back When

by Sally Clark, Beth Herst

Two new exciting plays by women, about women, but not just any women. These are plays that shake loose the cobwebs of myth to reveal influential, complex, and intriguing historical figures, Joan of Arc and Aphra Behn - women who redefined their own places in society and that of all women in the prevalent male power structure.
