(Re)Constructing Maternal Performance in Twentieth-Century American Drama is written by L. Bailey McDaniel and published by Springer. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1137299576 (ISBN 10) and 9781137299574 (ISBN 13).

Looking at a century of American theatre, McDaniel investigates how race-based notions of maternal performance become sites of resistance to cultural and political hierarchies. This book considers how the construction of mothering as universally women's work obscures additional, equally constructed subdivisions based in race and class.
