Description:

First published in 1988, the 19 original essays (and three "Sylvia" cartoons) included in this volume deal with the gender-specific nature of comedy. This pioneering collection observes the creation of women's comedy from a wide range of standpoints: political, sociological, psychoanalytical, linguistic, and historical.

Review Quotes:

'It is good to have this volume readily available again'

- Margaret D. Stetz, University of Delaware
