In the final decades of the reign of Louis XIV, women’s theater, now performed at the Comedie-Francaise (the French national theater), ventured into new territories that foreshadowed the Enlightenment. These playwrights, asserting their identity as women authors, excelled in the amateur theatre de societe as well as tragedy and comedy.
