Performing Feminisms is the first book to bring together theoretical works on the theater written from a feminist perspective. This pioneering work uses feminist critical theory, as it have been applied to fiction and the cinema, to explore dramatic tests and performances. In an introductory essay, Sue-Ellen case provides an overview of the intersection between feminist critical theory and theater in the 1980s. The contributors consider a wide range of themes and strategies—psychoanalytic theory, Lacanian criticism, socialist feminism, lesbianism, history, even the folk theory of Aunt Jemima. Among the contributors, Teresa de Lauretis examines sexual indifference and lesbian representation. Elin Diamond and Sharon Willis use Lacan to dismantle notions of identity. Glenda Dickerson explores womanist attitudes in African-American theater. Yvonne Yarbo-Bejarano discusses the female subject in Chicago theater. Judith Butler destabilizes gender identity in her analysis of the performative act. The writers consider differences across time—from Shakespeare to contemporary performance art—and across ethnic and class boundaries. The feminist critical practices of the 1980s present a challenge to women's studies and theater studies in the 1990s. Performing Feminisms introduces a relatively new field, one sure to provoke discussion in both disciplines.

This dissertation, "Feeling the Movement: Performing Feminisms on the Street and the Stage," narrates a new cultural history of US-American feminist movements from the 1960s-1990s by uncovering their indebtedness to dramatic performance. Combining this history with contemporary queer and feminist theories of embodiment, I generate an aesthetic theory of affect and gesture-or feeling and movement-that demonstrates the ways performance art and drama directly shaped feminist politics in the late twentieth century. This framework extrapolates how even in a moment when the body was only beginning to be theorized as a discursive or performative construction, feminist performers and activists already understood that by physically enacting change, one could both feel and fleetingly materialize it. The ensuing case studies explore how feminists of all stripes deployed dramatic performance and activist politics as intertwined entities; their overlapping histories, embodied forms, and felt experiences rendered them stronger together. Each chapter examines a feminist movement practice or concern, including consciousness raising, anti-rape activism, coalition work, and intergenerational organizing, alongside works of creative performance that take up, interrogate, and performatively reinvent that practice. Using both archival and analytic methods, I subsequently contend that throughout the late twentieth century, feminist activism and dramatic arts were synergistic entities with reciprocal affective and material forms. I call these forms "radical gestures." Radical gestures are performative acts that intertwine affect and embodiment to materialize the political change they gesture towards. By examining both artistic and activist sites of this material transformation, I situate the dramatic arts as a central paradigm for understanding the last sixty years of US-American feminist history and argue that feminist activism was partly invented and might be reinvented through the trappings of performance.
