While the online performance of these monologues shows quite a few women in the roles; in fact; more than 90 of them specifically say they are for men in the stage directions. While it may be okay to use a monologue for the wrong gender as an exercise; many competitions and auditions require a gender appropriate monologue. Therefore; you might want to choose another book if you are female.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Victor SapphireFew as talented and spot-on as EB.
