I am looking for plays for my sister! She wants to read more female playwrights! Any recommendations?

From the ones I had read and enjoyed in the last two years or so (1 act or longer):

Amy Herzog
Annie Baker
Danai Gurira
Jennifer Haley
Lynn Nottage
Quiara Alegría Hudes
Naomi Ragen
Lorraine Hansberry
Claudia Rankine
Sarah Ruhl
Paula Vogel
Wendy Wasserstein
Lauren Gunderson
Madeleine George

May be easier to just point to my Plays collection...: https://www.librarything.com/catalog/AnnieMod/plays

If you prefer play names and not playwrights as recommendations, let me know - I can add the titles but... I had not read a bad play by either.

Caryl Churchill
Shelagh Delaney
Lillian Hellman
Theresa Rebeck
Maria Irene Fornes
