Reviving a dramatic past in which women playwrights used theatre to empower their culture and themselves.

Trade Review

“Kym Bird’s Blowing up the Skirt of History is a dynamic and compelling anthology [that] collects some of the earliest English plays from different regions in Canada. With verve and humour, Bird uses public theory and feminism to analyze the plays’ constrained performance of nationalism and racial privilege. Bird’s energetic writing style will certainly appeal to undergraduate students and help make early Canadian theatre more accessible. Blowing up the Skirt of History is an important work for anyone interested in early Canadian drama and feminist literature.” Canadian Literature
