  • Dramatic Mirror, November 7, 1891, P. 8. 2. Helen Ten Broeck, “Rida Young—Dramatist and Garden Expert,” Theatre (April 1917): 202
    NOTES INTRODUCTION 1. Ali Baba, “Mirror Interview: XXI—Martha Morton,” Dramatic Mirror, November 7, 1891, p. 8. 2. Helen Ten Broeck, “Rida Young—Dramatist and Garden Expert,” Theatre (April 1917): 202. 3. See Progressive Era at http://www.wikipedia.com. 4. Rachel Crothers (1878–1958), considered America’s first modern feminist playwright for her social comedies and woman-centered themes, is the only woman usually included within the “canon” of playwrights during the Progressive Era. Her production in 1906 of The Three of Us marked the beginning of a thirty-year career as a professional playwright and director in American theater. Her plays were well-constructed and dealt with pertinent issues of the time, such as the unfairness of the double standard and women’s conflicts between career and motherhood; her plays are still revived today. Unlike the other women in this study who are essentially “unknown,” Crothers has been extensively written about in dissertations and journals and, therefore, is not included in this study. For a recent arti- cle on Crothers, see Brenda Murphy, “Feminism and the Marketplace: The Career of Rachel Crothers,” in The Cambridge Companion to American Women Playwrights, ed. Brenda Murphy (New York: Cambridge University Press, 1999), 82–97. 5. About fifty-one women dramatists achieved two or more productions in New York between 1890 and 1920. Portions of this chapter are from Sherry Engle, “An ‘Irruption of Women Dramatists’: The Rise of America’s Woman Playwright, 1890–1920,” New England Theatre Journal 12 (2001): 27–50. 6. A prime example is Morton’s The Movers (1907), which despite being a box office failure, was defended by several prominent critics.
