sources too closely associated with the subject

I have tagged the article with the third-party template, because all the sources are either written by the subject or closely associated with her. I have been trying to find sources ABOUT her in independent, reliable sources, and have come up with very little so far. I did find a not very flattering review of The Theater of the Marvelous: Surrealism and the Contemporary Stage in Books Abroad,^[1] which I doubt is of much use, and a review of The Reflowering of the Goddess^[2] which contains a claim of "groundbreaking scholarship".

Thanks for the time you took researching Gloria Feman Orenstein Mduvekot. I'll take a look at the sources you suggest! Perhaps the unflattering review of The Theater of the Marvelous can be used to start a criticisms section;) Jscarboro (talk) 02:50, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ha :), well, I'm not sure it's up to me to start a criticism section, even though I agree with some of the criticism, considering due/undue weight. I thought I'd mention another source: I have access to Gale through the Wikipedia Library and noticed an entry for Orenstein in Biography In Context. http://link.galegroup.com/apps/doc/H1000074919/GPS?sid=wikipedia I hope this is useful.Mduvekot (talk) 03:26, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I should have specified that I'd do that work:), your input reminded me that I've been meaning to get back to this article. My Jstor access doesn't seem to include the Matthews review, but your suggestion put me on the trail of other reviews which should be good third-party sourcesJscarboro (talk) 17:21, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
