Synopsis
The Women
$13 Published by Dramatists Play Service
This brilliant play has assumed the status of a modern classic
Aside from the novelty of its involving a large cast of women (35 female, no male characters at all) it is an immensely entertaining panorama of our modern metropolitan world from the feminine viewpoint
The author carries us through a number of varied scenes and shows us not only a somewhat unflattering picture of womanhood, but digging under the surface, reveals a human understanding for, and sympathy with, some of its outstanding figures
The plot involves the efforts of a group of women to play their respective roles in an artificial society that consists of vain show, comedy, tragedy, hope and disappointment
