Revolt again","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough a series of arresting vignettes and a collection of nameless characters, Alice Birch examines the language, behaviour and forces that shape women in the 21st century. The play asks what is stopping us from doing something truly radical to change them?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWritten in response to the provocation that well-behaved women seldom make history, the play is an assault on the language that has fuelled violence against women throughout history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProblematic language frequently attached to women is interrogated, from lazy sexist clichés to the conventions around a marriage proposal. By doing so, the play rails against the conventions of work, sex, motherhood, ageing and love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRevolt. She said.
