Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Susan Pomerance is without doubt one of the luminaries of scene-study writing. Her commentaries upon matters affecting women are incisive and illuminating. Her monologues address the paramount issues confronting women in modern society. She deals unflinchingly with subjects of rape, equal rights, abortion, marriage, etc. Her work has gained her widespread acceptance among actresses at all levels who recognize Ms. Pomerance as a kindred spirit who focuses upon feminine subjects with compassion, honestly, and directness.

Problematic,

This review is from: For Women: Monologues They Haven't Heard (Paperback)
This book contains 30 female speeches written by the author, each averaging 2 minutes in length and summarized by one or two sentences, such as "Frances recommends homocide as a means of retribution for blatant promiscuity." While Pomerance cleary intends to create fresh, new monologues that are free for interpretation, the result is a collection of rather flat pieces, centered around unmotivated characters with no real dramatic context. The content (sex, violence, profanity, politics, crime) makes it inappropriate for youngsters, and the form is too superficial for most adult actors. From this perspective, the title seems ironically prophetic.

This review is from: For Women: Monologues They Haven't Heard (Paperback)
I saw it by chance and since i needed a monologue for my project, i decided to buy it. It doesn't contain and extracts from plays but it's got a range of subjects to show off a range of emotions. If you're looking for something different for your audition or project, give this a try.

This review is from: For Women: Monologues They Haven't Heard (Paperback)
This book is not helpful for auditions, I ordered it thinking that they were selections from plays not written by the author, everyone knows that these type of monologue books are not useful to an actor as far as auditions, AMAZON.. can you please be more specific on these books! we need to know if they are excerpts from plays before we buy them!
