<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The graduating seniors of a Seven Sisters college, trying to decide whether to pattern themselves after Katharine Hepburn or Emily Dickinson. Two young women besieged by the demands of mothers, lovers, and careers--not to mention a highly persistent telephone answering machine--as they struggle to have it all. A brilliant feminist art historian trying to keep her bearings and her sense of humor on the elevator ride from the radical sixties to the heartless eighties.</p><p>Wendy Wasserstein's characters are so funny, so many-sided, and so <i>real</i> that we seem to know them from their Scene One entrances, though the places they go are invariably surprising. And these three plays--<i>Uncommon Women and Others</i>, <i>Isn't It Romantic</i>, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning <i>The Heidi</i> <i>Chronicles</i>--manage to engage us heart, mind, and soul on such a deep and lasting level that they are already recognized as classics of the modern theater.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<i>The Heidi Chronicles</i> is a play of our time, for our time, and one that, in many ways, defines it." <br>--United Press International <p/>"Mirthful and touching." --<i>The New York Times</i> <p/>"Wonderful and important...gloriously well-written." --<i>Newsday</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Wendy Wasserstein is the author of the the plays <i>Uncommon Women and Others</i>, <i>Isn't It Romantic</i>, <i>The Sisters Rosensweig</i>, <i>An American Daughter</i>, and <i>The Heidi Chronicles</i>, for which she received a Tony Award and the Pulitzer Prize, and of the books, <i>Bachelor Girls </i>and <i>Shiksa Goddess</i>. She was admired both for the warmth and the satirical cool of her writing; each of her plays and books captures an essence of the time, makes us laugh and leaves us wiser. Wendy Wasserstein was born in 1950 in Brooklyn and died at the age of 55. Her daughter, Lucy Jane, lives in New York.</p>
