A Professor Emeritus of Theatre at Central College, Iowa, Robert A. Schanke is the editor of the international journal Theatre History Studies and the Southern Illinois University Press series Theater in the Americas. His previous books include Eva Le Gallienne: A Bio-Bibliography and Shattered Applause: The Lives of Eva Le Gallienne, a finalist for both the Lambda Literary Award and the Barnard Hewitt Award for theatre research.
"Drawing on countless hours spent with de Acosta's personal correspondence and unpublished writings, Schanke puts together a compelling portrait of a woman whose confidence in herself is striking, particularly because she stood tail in an era when women were taught to do the opposite.... Although de Acosta's writing is largely neglected, Schanke's well-crafted, deeply researched biography makes her live again, gliding down the streets of New York to show other women how it should be done." -New York Times Book Review"
