<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A collection of monologues from plays by women over forty.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>She Persisted: One Hundred Monologues from Plays by Women over Forty is a collection of monologues from plays by members of Honor Roll!, an advocacy group of women over forty. About Honor Roll!: Honor Roll! is an advocacy and action group of women+ playwrights over forty--and our allies--whose goal is our inclusion in theater. The term women+ refers to a spectrum of gender identification that includes women, non-binary identifiers, and trans. We are the generation excluded at the outset of our careers because of sexism, now overlooked because of ageism. We celebrate diversity in theater, and work to call attention to the negative impact of age discrimination alongside gender, race, ethnicity, faith, socioeconomic status, disability, and sexual orientation in the American Theatre and beyond. These women are in their forties and fifties and sixties, and they have been writing a long time, and they are at the height of their craft. These are tight, complex, nuanced pieces of writing, which no one has seen because for too long they weren't looking. These are important writers, and important plays. --Theresa Rebeck, from the introduction<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Lawrence Harbison was in charge of new play acquisitions for Samuel French, Inc., for over thirty years.
