520			_a"The Revolt: A Play In One Act" by Ellis Parker Butler is a comedic play written in the early 20th century. The story is set in Grandma Gregg's Academy of Household Science for Young Ladies and humorously explores the themes of gender roles and women's empowerment during a time of significant social change. The central topic of the play revolves around a group of young women who navigate the expectations placed on them by society, particularly regarding their roles as future wives and housekeepers. The play unfolds with Pauline, a student working off her tuition through constant scrubbing and cleaning, expressing her frustration with the menial tasks she is assigned instead of the higher education she expected. This dissatisfaction leads to a comedic clash when Susan Jane Jones, a militant suffragette, enters the academy and attempts to rally the other students to rebel against the traditional expectations of women. As the narrative progresses, the girls discuss their feelings toward men, ultimately deciding to abandon domesticity in favor of pursuing more adventurous identities, even declaring themselves pirates. The play culminates in a humorous confrontation between the girls and their teacher, as romantic interests abruptly draw the girls away from their revolutionary goals, showcasing a light-hearted take on feminist ideals while also reflecting the complexities of youthful aspirations and societal obligations.
