About the Book:

Editor Craig Pospisil has drawn exclusively from Dramatists Play Service publications to compile this collection Outstanding Women's Monologues: Volume One, which features over fifty monologues. You will find an enormous range of voices and subject matter, characters from their teens to their seventies and authors from widely varied backgrounds, some well known, others less so, but all immensely talented.
