The Westbeth Playwrights Feminist Collective is featured in a new book, Off Off Broadway – The Second Wave 1968 – 1980 by Christopher Olsen, published March 2011.

The playwrights all from Westbeth included Dolores Walker, Chryse (Christina) Maile, Gwen Gunn, Sally Ordway, Patricia Horan, Susan Yankowitz, and Helen Duberstein.

One of the first feminist theater groups to be reviewed in the NY TImes, the group was noted for its ability to balance the serious social message regarding the marginalization of women with a sense of the absurd and a commitment to good writing. – Off Off Broadway
