Response for Marina

Marina –

This piece has excellent structure to it. The story flows smoothly from beginning to end supported with adequate and appropriate quotes. However, I feel like the conflict in this story can be fleshed out more. There are repeated claims of the uphill feminist battle on campus but there is no real discussion on what that battle entails. Why do these women feel they are in a battle? What are some of the things they have dealt with on campus that they struggle with? I’m not rejecting their claims, I’m just interested in what exactly are the concrete issues they are striving against. I think the microcosm of the theatre department really serves nicely as a point of departure for the larger issues at hand.
