  Traditionally, women have no sense of humour. This book explodes the myth by explaining the impact of women on popular comedy as sitcom stars and as standup comics. It also looks at the implications of the myth itself, and its serious consequences for women politically as well as socially. Frances Gray is the author of John Arden and Noel Coward , both in the Modern Dramatists series, and the winner of the BBC Radio Times Comedy Award for 1992.
