Unfortunately, most of the other actors in the Leverett production never step outside the molds created for them by class. Anita Gilman, who plays Higgins's mother with a good deal of self-parody, is a notable exception to this rule. And as Freddy, who uncomfortabls senses the absurdity of his own pretensions, so is David Brown. But because the other actors do not have a clear sense of their characters, the interactions, already hard in so didactic a play, seem forced. Sociologically, this lack of established connection lessens the possibility of social change; dramatically, these less accomplished performances slow...
...together with criminals and the insane, were disenfranchised and mounted police rode down legal pickets, bonds were formed between the growing women's movement and expanding labor movements. After 1900, nationalist-progressive policies threatened the ordered society. The career of Florence Luscomb, who suceeded radical feminists such as Charlotte Gilman, Jane Addams and Alice Paul, was closely intertwined with both movements. Luscomb has devoted most of her life to jabbing plump and comfortable consciences. She began campaigning for votes for women before World War I, and continued to do so even after the suffrage had been gained nationwide with...

Severe in a herringbone suit, her frizzy yellow hair drawn back tightly in a bun, Gilman stands in her characteristic pose, hands clasped in front of her, and expresses dismay, skepticism and repressed lust with utter conviction...
...presence of men in the Library.

But perhaps more important, in a study King did recently of the Schlesinger Library's manuscript users, she found four subjects--education and educated women, employment and working class women, feminism and suffrage...
...hapless losers managed three shots in the final frame, but no goals. The closest they came was in the final minutes, when Engineer goalie Jeff Singer fired a Gilman clear--a full-field pass--into the Harvard end. The ball eluded Crimson netminder Ken First and rolled into the crease. An MIT attackman struggled furiously in the mud to shovel the ball into the net, but First got it first, diving back into the goal mouth and clamping the ball with his stick...
