Description
Summary:This article discusses the results of the HyPaTia research project in the feminist history of the theatre, situating it in the wider context of the phenomenon of women’s history, as practiced since the 1970s. The author investigates the revisionist character of the project’s dialogue with the canon and the constructive gesture of (re)creation of a women’s history of Polish theatre. Through the figures of “Shakespeare’s sister” and “Hypatia’s sisters”, attention is drawn to the specific entanglement of the life and work of female playwrights in a patriarchal framework (referred to as the “republic of brothers”), problematizing the understanding of women’s empowerment as liberation from male oppression or escape into the margins.
