Ultra Veritatem Muliebris Vis: Women Classicists at and beyond Washington University in the Dawning of Post-Bellum America
To contextualize the all-female American production of Plautus’ Rudens at Washington University in St. Louis in 1884 by the university’s Ladies’ Literary Society, my discussion considers the topic of Plautus’ comedy—freeborn Greeks threatened with enslavement—and the historical circumstances of its first staging in ca. 200 BCE; the historical circumstances surrounding the production, in a former slave state, less than two decades after the US Civil War; and, to illuminate the milieu in which the female students revised and performed Plautus’ text, the lives and professional contributions of five prominent American women classicists educated between 1865 and 1917.

Thornton Wilder in Collaboration
The essays in this volume evolved from papers presented at the Second International Thornton Wilder Conference, held at Salve Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island, in June 2015. They examine Wilder's work as both playwright and novelist, focusing upon how he drew on the collaborative mode of creativity required in the theatre, when writing both drama and fiction. The book's authors use the term \"collaboration\" in its broadest sense, at times in response to Wilder's critics who faulted him for \"borrowing\" from other, earlier, literary works rather than recognizing these \"borrowings\" as central to the artistic process of collaboration. In exploring Wilder's collaborative efforts of different kinds, the essays not only consider how Wilder worked with and revised earlier literary texts and the ideas central to those texts, but also analyze how Wilder worked with and inspired other creative individuals and how recent productions of Wilder's plays, both in the US and abroad, have been the products of unique forms of collaboration.

Expanding Our Professional Embrace
Focused on the organization's history and leadership over the past half-century, this paper looks back to its first century in reflecting on the increasingly prominent role accorded classicists of previously marginalized and indeed excluded backgrounds—not only women, but also Jews, Catholics, gays, émigrés, and those from non-privileged backgrounds and non-elite institutions. It also analyzes as well as surveys how the Women's Classical Caucus participated in transforming the APA.
