Abstract

Stage women, 1900–50 explores the many ways in which women conceptualised, constructed and participated in networks of professional practice in the theatre and performance industries between 1900 and 1950. A timely volume full of original research, the book explores women’s complex negotiations of their agency over both their labour and public representation, and their use of personal and professional networks to sustain their careers. Including a series of case studies that explore a range of well-known and lesser-known women working in theatre, film and popular performance of the period. The volume is divided into two connected parts. ‘Female theatre workers in the social and theatrical realm’ looks at the relationship between women’s work – on- and offstage – and autobiography, activism, technique, touring, education and the law. Part II, ‘Women and popular performance’, focuses on the careers of individual artists, once household names, including Lily Brayton, Ellen Terry, radio star Mabel Constanduros, and Oscar-winning film star Margaret Rutherford. Overall, the book provides new and vibrant cultural histories of women’s work in the theatre and performance industries of the period.

《舞台女性,1900 - 1950》探讨了1900年至1950年间,女性在剧院和表演行业中概念化、构建和参与专业实践网络的多种方式。这本书是一本及时的原创研究,探讨了女性在劳动和公共代表方面与代理机构的复杂谈判,以及她们利用个人和专业网络来维持自己的职业生涯。包括一系列的案例研究,探讨了一系列在戏剧、电影和流行表演中工作的知名和不太知名的女性。该体量分为两个相连的部分。“社会和戏剧领域的女性戏剧工作者”着眼于女性在舞台上和舞台下的工作与自传、行动主义、技术、巡演、教育和法律之间的关系。第二部分,“女性与流行表演”,重点关注个人艺术家的职业生涯,这些艺术家曾经是家喻户晓的名字,包括莉莉·布雷顿、艾伦·特里、广播明星梅布尔·康斯坦德罗斯和奥斯卡影后玛格丽特·卢瑟福。总的来说,这本书提供了新的和充满活力的文化历史的妇女工作在戏剧和表演行业的时期。
