During these eighty years the theater was a passionate convern of a large number of people, and it was thoroughly dominated by Rachel, Ristori, Bernhardt, and Duse, who battled for control of the stage. In their time, these four women managed to transcend the limitation of language and national culture and to perform to international acclaim, for extended periods of time, all over the world."
