March is Women's History Month in the UK, the US, and Australia, and so we've dedicated this episode of the Arthur Miller Society Podcast to discussing Arthur Miller's female characters.
We spoke with senior Miller scholar Prof. Jane K. Dominik about what critics and scholars may have missed when discussing Miller's female characters, the impact of the women in his life on his writing, and the future possibilities when interpreting Miller's plays.
Miller generally focused on male protagonists in his plays, but with this conversation, we hope to complicate the traditional story somewhat - the power of early characters like Kate Keller and Linda Loman, the complexity of Lyman Felt's wives in The Ride Down Mount Morgan, and the care and empathy with which Sylvia Gellburg is treated in Broken Glass all get discussed in this episode.
