Lahr wrote a wonderfully illuminating book about Williams. Worth reading.

VERY HARD unsubtle insight into the mother. She was a religious woman, demanded by society since she was a child. A victim of that patriarchy, Her husband was abusive...yet Lahr condemns her for finding some outlet of this horrendously common female experience of living with a husband's tyranny.. Men never seem to grasp the reality of what women experience and go through. Never.
