Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of the violent labor disputes in Colorado’s two-year Coalfield War, a young woman and single mother resolved in 1916 to change the status quo for “girls,” as well-to-do women in Denver referred to their hired help. Her name was Jane Street, and this compelling biography is the first to chronicle her defiant efforts—and devastating misfortunes—as a leader of the so-called housemaid rebellion. A native of Indiana, Jane Street (1887–1966) began her activist endeavors as an organizer for the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). In riveting detail, author Jane Little Botkin recounts Street’s attempts to orchestrate a domestic mutiny against Denver’s elitist Capitol Hill women, including wives of the state’s national guard officers and Colorado Fuel and Iron operators. It did not take long for the housemaid rebellion to make local and national news. Despite the IWW’s initial support of the housemaids’ fight for fairness and better pay, Street soon found herself engaged in a gender war, the target of sexism within the very organization she worked so hard to support. The abuses she suffered ranged from sabotage and betrayal to arrests and abandonment. After the United States entered World War I and the first Red Scare arose, Street’s battle to balance motherhood and labor organizing began to take its toll. Legal troubles, broken relationships, and poverty threatened her very existence. In previous western labor and women’s studies accounts, Jane Street has figured only marginally, credited in passing as the founder of a housemaids’ union. To unearth the rich detail of her story, Botkin has combed through case histories, family archives, and—perhaps most significant—Street’s own writings, which express her greatest joys, her deepest sorrows, and her unfortunate dealings with systematic injustice. Setting Jane’s story within the wider context of early-twentieth-century class struggles and the women’s suffrage movement, The Girl Who Dared to Defy paints a fascinating—and ultimately heartbreaking—portrait of one woman’s courageous fight for equality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theatre in London has celebrated a rich and influential history, and in 1976 the first volume of J. P. Wearing’s reference series provided researchers with an indispensable resource of these productions. In the decades since the original calendars were produced, several research aids have become available, notably various reference works and the digitization of important newspapers and relevant periodicals. The second edition of The London Stage 1920–1929: A Calendar of Productions, Performers, and Personnel provides a chronological calendar of London shows from January 1920 through December 1929. The volume chronicles more than 4,000 productions at 51 major central London theatres during this period. For each entry the following information is provided: Title Author Theatre Performers Personnel Opening and Closing Dates Number of Performances Other details include genre of the production, number of acts, and a list of reviews. A comment section includes other interesting information, such as plot description, first-night reception by the audience, noteworthy performances, staging elements, and details of performances in New York either prior to or after the London production. Among the plays staged in London during this decade were Bulldog Drummond, The Emperor Jones, The Enchanted Cottage, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Hay Fever, Saint Joan, and Six Characters in Search of an Author, as well as numerous musical comedies (British and American), foreign works, operas, and ballets, revivals of English classics. A definitive resource, this edition revises, corrects, and expands the original calendar. In addition, approximately 20 percent of the material—in particular, information of adaptations and translations, plot sources, and comment information—is new. Arranged chronologically, the shows are fully indexed by title, genre, and theatre. A general index includes numerous subject entries on such topics as acting, audiences, censorship, costumes, managers, performers, prompters, staging, and ticket prices. The London Stage 1920-1929 will be of value to scholars, theatrical personnel, librarians, writers, journalists, and historians.

This book was released on 2025-01-07 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores the 100 year history of the Norfolk and Norwich Operatic Society and celebrates the company's relationship with the Theatre Royal Norwich, one of the most successful major provincial theatres in the country. For One Week Only, published in time for the Norfolk and Norwich Operatic Society's centenary in January 2025, celebrates the company's relationship with the Theatre Royal Norwich, one of the most successful major provincial theatres in the country. The book charts the development of the Society over a hundred years of musical theatre, British and American. Each of the almost 100 productions has its own lively, informative and socially aware essay, accompanied by photographs revealing the development of the company from its origins in 1925, as well as showing the changing faces and styles of musical theatre throughout the century. The early years of the Society favoured such continental operettas as The Marriage Market and the bewitching Sybil before a long dalliance with Gilbert and Sullivan from which it broke free after World War II, although Iolanthe returned for her third outing in 1955. The Society's fascination with operetta continued through the 1960s with such sturdy favourites as The Student Prince, The Merry Widow and Rose Marie, with an occasional recognition of the British musical, notably in the 1975 production of Ivor Novello's King's Rhapsody and in the hugely successful Betty Blue Eyes of 2024. For One Week Only explores the history of the N&N and its ongoing contribution to the arts in Norfolk. Warmly and wittily, it lifts the curtain on a story of theatrical endurance and adventure.
