Women as Victims in Tennessee Williams' First Three Major Plays

Tennesse Williams addresses marginalization in his writing, and this work identifies how he presents women as victims in his first three major plays: The Glass Menagerie, A Streetcar Named Desire, and Summer and Smoke. Through his own life circumstances and giftedness as a writer, Williams is able to express his identification with life's walking wounded like no other writer. It is little wonder that dramatic and music theatrical productions of these plays continue to thrive due to their timeless appeal.
