"The styles and subject matter of these wide-ranging monologues include everything from the comic and the serious to the political and the personal, and the characters inside them offer the opportunity for any actress to stretch out and explore the idiosyncrasies of another woman's personality. In fact, New Monologues for Women by Women is not only a resource for professional actresses and acting students but also a source-book for theatre companies looking for new plays by women and a reader for anyone with a general interest in women's studies or contemporary theatre.
