Wendy Wasserstein
This American playwright has been embraced as the voice of a generation of women who are caught between their needs for motherhood and nurturing and their equally important needs for an intellectual purpose in their lives. Wendy Wasserstein is best recalled for "The Heidi Chronicles" (1989), her Tony and Pulitzer Prize winning play in which the life of a woman is followed from college to the brink of middle age, a period in which she is unfulfilled in relationships and career, and elects, finally, to raise a child on her own. Wasserstein also scripted the 1988 TNT production that featured Jamie Lee Curtis and Tom Hulce.
