About the author

Wendy Wasserstein

The leading female voice in American commercial theater of the 1980s and 1990s, Wasserstein wrote smart, self-deprecating comedies about educated women navigating feminism and ambivalence. The Heidi Chronicles won both the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award. Her work brought women's inner lives to Broadway with uncommon candor.
