Feminist Theatre Movement

Origins

Influencers

Qué?

It came to be widely recognised, theorised, studied and practised in the wake of the seventies’ Women’s Liberation Movement. Recognition that women’s cultural, social, sexual, economic and political lives had been oppressed by male domination was what fuelled a climate of Western feminism. As a profession, theatre was a microcosm of the discrimination and inequalities operating in society at large.

Feminist theatre is a genre that has generally been understood as describing and encompassing diverse theatrical work motivated by the recognition of and resistance to women’s marginalisation within social and cultural systems that accord male privilege and dominance.

Monstrous Regiment, along with the Women’s Theatre Group (both companies were founded in the mid-seventies), helped push the innovation of a feminist-theatre tradition and to creating an abundance of women’s plays and performances. Many more groups were to follow.
