‘Liberation,’ a new play by Bess Wohl, offers an inventive look at the intersection of personal and political through the lens of second-wave feminism. Drawing on the life of Wohl’s mother, an activist and Ms Magazine worker, the play is set in a 1970s women’s liberation group in small-town Ohio. The narrative explores the struggles for gender equality, reflecting on the societal limitations of the era. The play also delves into the complex mother-daughter relationship, as the daughter attempts to reconcile her mother’s domesticity with her radical past. ‘Liberation’ is a resonant exploration of inherited memories and the continuing fight for gender equality.
