Early women’s drama has gained attention in scholarship over the past three decades; however, female playwrights like Mary Sidney, Elizabeth Cary, Mary Wroth, and the Cavendish sisters remain scarce on the course syllabus. Certainly, Sidney’s Tragedy of Antonie and Cary’s Tragedy of Mariam have begun to appear in upper-year early modern courses, often as token women writers on a male-dominated reading list. Still, the place and value of early female-authored plays in survey courses beg re-examination.
