The theatre of Ana Diosdado and Paloma Pedrero in Spain and Aida Bortnik and Griselda Gambaro
in Argentina written between 1960 and 1990 reveals an increasing preoccupation with women's
issues together with a continuing awareness of problematic political realities. Whether they
challenge the strict separation between the private and the public or whether they choose to
uphold that distinction these authors make the personal political by appropriating the public
space - the stage - for the stories of women.
