Kitchen Sink Realisms - Domestic Labor, Dining, and Drama in American Theatre

Klappentext In analyzing kitchen sink realisms, Dorothy Chansky reveals the ways that food preparation, domestic labour, dining, serving,entertaining, and cleanup saturate the lives of dramatic characters and situations even when they do not take centre stage. She sheds compelling light on the changing debates about women's roles and the importance of their household labor across lines of class and race in the twentieth century.
