“The Heidi Chronicles” by Wendy Wasserstein kept my interest so much that I could not put it down until I was to the last page. I liked how the issue of sexuality played a role along with the issue of feminist goals in this play.

In The Heidi Chronicles, Wendy Wasserstein portrays the struggle of feminism through the 1960’s, 1970’s, and 1980’s as Heidi’s friends pass through the movement as a trend, leaving Heidi feeling stranded, and showing how women differ in success to fulfill their lives than men.

The plot follows Heidi Holland from high school in the 1960s to her career as a successful art history twenty years later.
