The Aside Podcasts are a free resource supported by Drama Victoria - Australia’s oldest Drama Association

In this episode of The Aside we speed through a brief history of women in theatre and look at some modern game-changers. This is by no means an exhaustive list of creatives, actors, and directors. We are only attempting to skim the surface of the role women have played in theatre's development.

This episode is largely constructed from quotes and passages from the links below.
