The Old Woman Who Lost Her Voice

Jacqueline Hoffman, Masey Steel and Boogie Willis in "The Woman Who Lost Her Voice," a new play by Anchorage playwright Jill Bess. This is not 1970s feminist agitprop by any means. There’s no “women good, men bad” theme; in fact, the script specifically states that the male roles be played as “anything but caricatures.” This is fourth-wave feminism, whose aim is inclusion and whose point is that it isn’t just girls and women who are harmed by the patriarchy.
