When Sarah Bernhardt made her first American tour in 1880, the term "feminism" had yet to enter our national vocabulary. But over the next half-century, a rising generation of actresses and comics brought a new kind of woman to center stage. Glenn reveals the theater to have been a powerful new source of cultural authority and visibility for women.
