The Feminist Spectator as Critic broke new ground as one of the pioneering books on feminist spectatorship; encouraging resistant readings to generate feminist meanings in performance. Approaching live spectatorship through a range of interdisciplinary methods; the book has been foundational in theater studies; performance studies; and gender/sexuality/womens studies. This updated and enlarged second edition celebrates the books twenty-fifth anniversary with a substantial new introduction and up-to-the-moment bibliography; detailing the progress to date in gender equity in theater and the arts; and suggesting how far we have yet to go.

Review
14 of 14 people found the following review helpful. By People Tree; for People TreeBy RebekahThis book had plenty of beautiful photographs; and a lot of interesting information about sweatshop labor and sustainable fashion... but I came away feeling like Id just read one LONG ad for the People Tree company. I think every interview was with a People Tree collaborator; model; makeup artist; etc.. The book did reference some other sustainable companies and tried to deliver an important message; but I still felt a bit tricked.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. not informativeBy yarootkaBecause of the headline I was expecting to find some revealing information about the industry. But there you can find just a series of emotional interviews; where different people share their attitude to the concept of sustainable fashion. May be inspirational for some readers; but for me the book lacks the narrative and educational value.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. awarenessBy M. J. Janse RensburgSafia Minney and the people she highlights are doing wonderful work and more should be done. The book is written as short anecdotal snippets and is a quick read. It is a good intro into this field. I would have liked more detail.
