Description: This collection of plays, fiction, and journalistic essays by Sophie Treadwell provides an engaging portrait of one of America's most innovative yet neglected feminists. Broadway's Bravest Woman is the first critical compilation of her prose and drama and highlights the most significant and formerly unavailable pieces of her work.

Review Quotes: "Broadway's Bravest Woman is important for showing the range of Treadwell's writing beyond her drama with the reprinting of her trailblazing interview with Pancho Villa, excerpts from her 1914 'stunt reporter' series, and the first-ever publication of two selections from her fiction writing. The Treadwell selections presented, especially the journalistic writing, are invaluable."--Felicia Hardison Londré, University of Missouri-Kansas City
