Eleanor Gates's Swat the Fly! A One-Act Fantasy offers a compelling and imaginative exploration of public health concerns at the turn of the century.

This historical piece serves as a fascinating artifact reflecting societal attitudes toward public health and the growing understanding of disease transmission.
