In Ruth Page: The Woman in the Work, the Chicago ballerina emerges as a highly original choreographer who, in her art, sought the iconoclastic as she transgressed boundaries of genre, gender, race, class, and sexuality. In the process of discovering the woman in the work, the book also offers encounters with an international cast of dancers, composers, visual artists, and companies.
Joellen A. Meglin, long-time editor of Dance Chronicle: Studies in Dance and the Related Arts and professor emerita of Dance at Temple University, has published extensively on Ruth Page and American ballet. Her re-imagination of Page's solo Expanding Universe was recently presented at the 92nd-Street Y and the Noguchi Museum in New York.
