I am going to show how this playwright constructed images of women artists in her famous "The Heidi Chronicles" (the 1989 play that brought Pulitzer Prize for the playwright). In this play, the female artist and art historian Heidi Holland incorporates into her lectures reproduction canvases of forgotten women that preserve the artists' identities, creative visions, and skills. Heidi informs her class of the marginalization of female artists and uses her position as an instructor to bring the past into the present, reviving female artists who symbolize women's dream for recognition and inclusion. An in-depth analysis of the female artists' paintings developed by the protagonist reveals curious representations of women finding their voices and authority within themselves through the creative outlet of painting.
