Abstract

This paper argues that Marie Clements’ play, The Unnatural and Accidental Women, promotes a (re)creation of a women’s community that empowers women and nurtures individual identity. Inspired by the true story of women murdered by a serial killer in Vancouver, British Columbia, Clements focuses on the indigenous women victims whose stories were not told in the media.
