Description

Some 300 alphabetical entries examine women of distinction in American theatre--actors, directors, designers, choreographers, playwrights, critics, agents, etc. The entries describe the women's professional contributions and provide biographical information and bibliographical materials. Two separate appendices contain listings by place of birth and by profession. Primarily a reference for college and university libraries. McBride argues that the return of high unemployment in Canada after decades of almost full employment can best be understood as the product of a political choice by policy makers--a choice linked to the preferences and growing power of Canadian business in the post-1975 period.
