Manahatta by Mary Kathryn Nagle
Manahatta is based on historic events and tells the story of a present-day Lenape woman, her family in Anadarko, Oklahoma, and her ancestors living in Manahatta (now called Manhattan), during the 1600s when Peter Minuit, head of the Dutch West India Company, “purchased” the island from the Lenape. Jane Snake, a Lenape woman from the Delaware Nation, Oklahoma, is a gifted mathematician with an MBA from Stanford University. Six years before the 2008 financial crisis, she relocated to her ancestral homeland of Manahatta to launch her career at the prestigious investment bank Lehman Brothers on Wall Street.
She Stoops to Conquer by Oliver Goldsmith
In this comedic play, Kate Hardcastle, the daughter of a wealthy landowner, disguises herself as a maid to win the affections of Charles Marlow, who is shy around women of his own class. Marlow, tricked into believing the Hardcastle home is an inn, behaves rudely to his host, Mr. Hardcastle, unaware of his true identity. Through this misunderstanding and Kate’s clever deception, Marlow falls in love with her, thinking she is a barmaid. The play satirizes social class and manners, culminating in a series of comical misunderstandings before the characters resolve their romantic and familial conflicts.
