Playwrighting
Georgia Douglas Johnson began writing playwrights as early as the 1920's and became one of the earliest African American female playwright. The 28 plays that she wrote were divided into four sections: "Primitive Life Plays", "Plays of average Negro Life", "Lynching Plays" and "Radio Plays". However, many of her plays were not published because of her race and gender. Several of her plays are also lost. Johnson was one of the only women whose work was published in Alain Locke's anthology Plays of Negro Life: A source-Book of Native American Drama. Johnson's typescripts for ten of her plays are in collections in academic institutions.
