Description

Explore the evolution of female comedy through this academic study from Routledge. This work examines the dramatic changes in American women's comedy performance between 1955 and 1995. By analyzing the historical arc of solo performances, the text tracks how comedy styles shifted across four decades of American culture. The study provides a deep look at the standup comedy of Phyllis Diller and Roseanne, alongside the character-driven comedy of Lily Tomlin. Readers can trace the transition from the traditional vaudevillian standup style seen in the 1950s through the 1970s to the more satiric comedy styles that emerged in the 1960s, 1980s, and 1990s. This book is a valuable resource for those studying American popular history, performing arts, and the cultural impact of female comedians.
