<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The impetus arises out of the sense that there has been a resurgence and renewal of interest in feminism in Britain, the US and many
other countries worldwide over the last five years. This is evident in the feminist activism and debate boosted by social media but flourishing across a whole range of platforms, embracing groups such as UK Feminista, Slutwalks, Everyday Sexism, Daughters
of Eve and One Billion Rising, as well as in the number of celebrities from Lena Dunham to Beyoncé via Emily Watson openly advocating feminism. It is also evident in the ever rising number of popular publications on feminism from Caitlin Moran’s
<i>How To Be a Woman</i>, to Roxane Gay’s<i> Bad Feminist.</i><b><o:p></o:p></b></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;font-weight:normal">After a long episode of what Elaine Aston termed theatrical ‘feminism fatigue’, the same period has seen a number of widely applauded productions which explicitly engage with questions
about the nature of feminism and what it means to be a feminist. In the UK these include works as diverse as Nic Green’s
<i>Trilogy</i> (2010), </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;font-weight:normal">(2012),
</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;font-weight:normal">Karin Young’s

Events such as Camden People’s Theatre’s ‘Calm Down, Dear’ annual festival of feminist theatre launched in 2013, the Live Art Development Agency’s Just Like a Woman events (2015) and the Hear Me Roar feminists arts festival in Lancaster (founded 2015),
</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#000305;font-weight:normal">have directed attention back on this politics.
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;font-weight:normal">In the meantime, women have been becoming increasingly visible in all areas and genres of theatre, and female experience has been placed centre stage by a new
wave of practitioners – who may not always present their work as ‘feminist’ – including GETINTHEBACKOFTHEVAN, Eggs Collective, Lucy Hutson, Zinnie Harris, Figs in Wigs, and Abi Zakarian.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></h1>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;font-weight:normal">This therefore seems a crucial moment to take stock of the current role and influence of feminism in theatre and
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;font-weight:normal">performance in the UK and elsewhere, and to consider how, as contemporary scholars and artists, we might respond to the challenges and opportunities represented
by the resurgence of interest in this politics.<o:p></o:p></span></h1>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;font-weight:normal">We hope that the issue will reflect the ‘diversity’ both of the subject area and of the subject positions and identities embraced by feminism and gender studies and draw attention
to points of resistance within ‘feminism’ as it is currently understood. We strongly encourage international contributions, and are especially interested in working with Early Career Researchers from across the world.<o:p></o:p></span></h1>
