Sue Perlgut is a second-wave feminist[1] who was a central figure in It's All Right To Be Woman Theatre,[2][3] a women's theater collective founded in 1970[4] in New York City that operated without a director.[5]

Perlgut studied educational theatre and worked as a director, performer, playwright, puppet maker, teacher, arts administrator, and producer.[6] Perlgut taught theater at Richmond College and in New York City.[7][8] She was one of the first people to suggest that women confess their abortions publicly,[1] which led to the #ShoutYourAbortion movement.
