Abstract

The article focuses on Bess Wohl's play "Liberation," which explores the legacy of second-wave feminism, her mother's involvement in it, and contemporary women's rights issues. Wohl reflects on her upbringing in a feminist environment and how her personal experiences with marriage, motherhood, and career shaped her understanding of these themes. The play features a unique structure where the narrator tells her mother's story while embodying both characters, facilitating a dialogue between past and present. Wohl addresses the complexities of identity representation and the significance of women's bodies in the narrative, emphasizing the play's impact on audience relationships and perceptions of feminism today, particularly in light of current challenges to women's rights.
