A Problem Like Maria: Gender and Sexuality in the American Musical

Subverting assumptions that American musical theatre is steeped in nostalgia, cheap sentiment, misogyny, and homophobia, this book shows how musicals of the 1950s and early 1960s celebrated strong women characters who defied the era's gender expectations.
