Feminist theatre emerged in the 20th century, as a way to show women’s experiences and challenge patriarchal structures. Plays were based in the broader feminist movement but used acting to critique traditional gender roles and question societal norms. A famous feminist playwright is Caryl Churchill, who wrote many famous plays that contradicted societal claims about men in business and used the storytelling to convey her message. Another famous feminist playwright is Adrienne Kennedy, who used female protagonists and complex storytelling to bring new narratives to the stage.
