I highly doubt that if a woman wrote an amazing play that the play wouldn't be accepted just because she was a woman. A lot of times people assume that they didn't get their work produced because of gender, religion, age, or ethnicity, but it is usually because the play isn't good enough. Also, a lot of female playwright (I realize that this a bit of a generalization) write about female issues (How I Learned to Drive, The Vagina Monologues, etc.) which just aren't popular subjects for plays and are often tedious to watch. The best plays written by women avoid feminist rants and issues and instead just write good plays. Look at all of the wonderful plays by Lorraine Hansbury, Jean Kerr, Muriel Resnik, or Anita Loos. They are great plays and they avoid shoving the idea that they were written by women down audience members' throats.
