Joan is back!
The explosive, underground classic The Second Coming of Joan of Arc is back in print at last! For two decades, Carolyn Gage’s revolutionary play about a cross-dressing, teenaged, runaway lesbian Joan of Arc has been rousing women to resistance – inspiring them to walk out of patriarchal institutions and fight for a feminist vision.
This new collection includes six other powerful Gage plays:
The Last Reading of Charlotte Cushman The greatest actress of the 19th century, a lesbian butch, makes a riotous last stand.
Calamity Jane Sends a Message to Her Daughter A lesbian butch stakes her claim to a place in men's history the only way she can.
Cookin with Typhoid Mary History's most notorious typhoid carrier tells her side of the story.
The Parmachene Belle The Maine hunting guide who loved Annie Oakley offers a lesson on fly fishing.
Harriet Tubman Visits a Therapist Radical activism meets one-day-at-a-time therapism in a fight-to-the-death.
Artemisia and Hildegard Two of the most powerful women artists in history square off on a volatile panel about strategies for survival.

The Second Coming Of Joan Of Arc And Selected Plays
Really brilliant lesbian feminist mythmaking. Good stuff. "The Second Coming of Joan of Arc" and "Artemisia and Hildegard" were probably my favourites, but at least half of them made me cry all over my book like a wiener. Not that they took themselves too seriously, some were quite witty and fun, but Gage sure knows how to pack an emotional punch. And she sure has captured what it's like to be a dyke in communities where that's not an acceptable option. My main takeaway is that Rich was right when she said that a central fact of woman's history is that we have always resisted male tyranny. We've done it in a lot of different ways, but we're born to survive.
I wish some of the plays were longer but I suppose that's not the point. And if my biggest complaint is that I wanted more I suppose that's a good sign.
And as a Joan of Arc nerd, this is one of my favourite depictions of the kid.
