''Uncommon Women and Others'' (1977), is the first play by noted 20th-century American playwright Wendy Wasserstein. Wasserstein wrote the play that was representative of her time at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts for her thesis at the Yale School of Drama and thus serves as a memory play. Wasserstein was disappointed she had never been assigned plays written by female playwrights nor did they incorporate any female directors during her time there. The play is about a group of women who come together in 1978 and relieve their time at Mount Holyoke College, Wasserstein's alma mater, in 1972–73 during second wave feminism and their journey to becoming the women they aspire to be to achieve their relationship and career goals. ==Plot summary==
Alumnae of Mount Holyoke College (Wasserstein's alma mater) meet for lunch six years after they graduate in 1978 to catch up about their lives after college. The play is a memory play thus contains series of flashbacks to the 1972–73 school year as seven seniors and one freshman try to discover their true path in life in the wake of second-wave feminism. The play focuses less on plot development and more on the different types of women presented in the play and the common themes between them. The characters lie on a spectrum between the more traditional Susie to an isolated and dreamy characters like Carter. The action of the play starts with the reunion of 5 graduates as they compare stories about various activities they've done since college, then resumes with interlaced stories of their last year in college and how those experienced shaped how they became the individuals they are.
