While at Yale, Wendy Wasserstein wrote a one-act version of Uncommon Women and Others as her master's thesis, and after completing her M.F.A., she expanded this play into two acts. The revised version was produced initially at the 1977 National Playwrights Conference at the O'Neill Theatre Center in Waterford, Connecticut, and then a few months later, by the Phoenix Theatre Company, at the Marymount Manhattan Theatre. Uncommon Women and Others (1978) was Wasserstein's first successful play; receiving an Obie award, among others.
