The graduating seniors of a Seven Sisters college, trying to decide whether to pattern themselves after Katharine Hepburn or Emily Dickinson. Two young women besieged by the demands of mothers, lovers, and careers--not to mention a highly persistent telephone answering machine--as they struggle to have it all. A brilliant feminist art historian trying to keep her bearings and her sense of humor on the elevator ride from the radical sixties to the heartless eighties. Wendy Wasserstein's characters are so funny, so many-sided, and so "real" that we seem to know them from their Scene One entrances, though the places they go are invariably surprising. And these three plays--"Uncommon Women and Others," "Isn't It Romantic," and the Pulitzer Prize-winning "The Heidi" "Chronicles"--Manage to engage us heart, mind, and soul on such a deep and lasting level that they are already recognized as classics of the modern theater.… (más)

Three plays about women, with a basic feminist theme. They feel somewhat dated now, being so firmly set in the 1970s. The superwomen trying to have it all brought back memories, not necessarily pleasant, as they discussed whether women could, in fact, have it all. The struggle to make it in a world dominated by men, to balance work and life, and to deal with parents, spouses, and lovers, puts strain on the women and challenges their view of themselves. The plays are presented chronologically, so it's possible to see the evolution of the author; it is unfortunate that, like almost all feminist works, it ultimately had to end with a baby - the satisfying of the biological clock, and the sense that this is, indeed, what women are all about. I don't think the author intended that, but it had that feel. That lost it half a star, because schmaltz is always undesirable. ( )
