Changed for Good: A Feminist History of the Broadway MusicalThere's something about being a woman and seeing a powerful, well-rounded female character emote, sing, and dance in front of you on the stage. Watching the musical Wicked was an incredibly powerful experience for me, and I only imagine it was the same for other women sitting in the audiences and experiencing the complex Sally Bowles in Cabaret or the saucy Anita in West Side Story for the first time. Stacy Wolf's Changed for Good: A Feminist History of the Broadway Musical (Oxford, $25) intellectually encapsulates so much of what is amazing about seeing these captivating characters play out.

Theodora
Stella Duffy's Theodora
(Penguin, $10) is an amorous and coercive novel that educates all who read it.
Duffy, a well-known lesbian author of critically acclaimed literary and crime
novels, covers all aspects of the life of Theodora, infamous Byzantine empress
and wife of the sixth-century ruler Justinian. The book's well-researched pages
are filled with the facts of Theodora's life, and the plot twists come directly
from the real-life scandals throughout her life as an empress, actress, and
whore. Duffy's passion for her enchanting Theodora shows through in every chapter.
