This anthology contains 19 plays written before 1950 by seven African-American women. Perkins places the women and their works in a literary and historical context. The volume includes plays by Zora Neale Hurston, Shirley Graham, May Miller, Georgia Douglas Johnson, Mary P. Burrill, Eulalie Spence, and Marita Bonner. These seven women had been part of the Washington, D.C. community at some point, had either studied at Howard University, taught at M Street High School, or worked with the Krigwa Players, and also influenced and inspired each other. The plays reflect the lives of the early black women, their attitudes, and issues which were rarely voiced on the stage at that time. Their themes include lynching; the blackman's loyalty in wartime to a country that offered him nothing; miscegenation; poverty; and education. ISBN 0-253-34358-5: $35.00.
