I read this play for my drama literature class and enjoyed it. Even though it was written in 1916, I think the content translates well to today. Reading plays is not my favorite acitivty: I prefer to see them actually performed, but for my purposes, it was easier to just read it.

As for recommendations, I'm not sure who I would recommend to, as there aren't too many people out there reading one act plays, but it does provide a great example of female solidarity.
