Myrna Lamb, Feminist Playwright Lambasted By Male Critics, Has Died At 87

Her first musical, "Mod Donna," had its opening at the Public in 1970. One Lamb supporter: "I was at opening night with my then-boyfriend, ... a deceptively mild-mannered man who rose out of his chair at the curtain and began to shout that feminism was a sham and that he would tell the awful truth about what wretched liars, manipulators, fakes and so on we in the movement were. I had never seen him in such a rage. Many men in the audience around us were nodding approval at his outburst."
