Gwen Ffrangcon-Davies is a paradox; a famous actress whose career spanned most of the twentieth century she is now largely forgotten. Drawing on material held in Ffrangcon-Davies's personal archive, Grime argues that the representation of the actress, on and off the stage, can be read in terms of its constructions of normative female behaviours.

'Grime's book is a labour of love, ten years in the writing, and well supported and referenced by feminist theory.' Theatre Notebook 'In this fascinating and poignant biography, Grime moves between dominant and hidden histories, to revise and revive the life and work of Gwen Ffrangcon-Davies, revealing not only a radical and unexpected story but also the power that the dominant history had to suppress it - a dominance which Ffrangcon-Davies felt compelled to uphold, both as an actress and as a woman.' Gilli Bush-Bailey, Royal Holloway, University of London
