THE TIME-SEQUENCE:
Notes: Those who have been the subject of a Heroica Theatre Company production are named in bold.
dates u.k. = dates unknown
In the belief that any pithy definition both confines and ‘under-sings’ our heroines and does scant justice to the breadth and impact of these women’s lives, Heroica offers the descriptors following the heroines’ names as merely guides to your areas of interest.
