About this book
He and She by Rachel Crothers grips listeners with a razor-sharp examination of marriage, art, and ambition in a landmark feminist drama. Set against the early 20th-century Broadway stage, Crothers' play follows a husband and wife who are both artists and finds them caught in a socially conscious battle of the sexes—where professional jealousy, personal sacrifice, and the question of a woman's place in the home collide. The play probes themes of gender roles, creative rivalry, societal expectation, and the compromises couples make when private desire meets public life, all without resorting to easy answers.
As a dramatic work rooted in its historical moment yet strikingly modern in its insights, He and She balances wit, moral urgency, and emotional complexity. Crothers' voice captures the tensions of a changing era while giving distinct life to characters who must navigate love and livelihood on unequal terms.
Ideal for listeners who love classic stage plays, feminist literature, and socially engaged drama, this audiobook offers a vivid window into early feminist theater and the timeless questions that continue to shape conversations about marriage, work, and creative identity.
