Why do we know more about Paris Hilton than Abigail Adams? When her ten year old daughter came home from school one March stating she was ding her Women's History Project on Cher, Writer/Performer and Cultural HERstorian Amy Simon knew something needed to be done.\\Combining theater, history, multimedia, and good old-fashioned story telling, She's History! brings to life the true tales of fabulous females, then and now. Going back and forth from the past to the present, poignantly and comically, our Modern Mom chronicles the struggles and accomplishments of our unheralded, unknown and forgotten heroines. Watch Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony mult-itask - running the house, fixing dinner and corralling the kids, all while working on the Fourteenth Amendment. See and hear about our first feminist writer Mary Wollstonecraft, and listen, as Frances Wright becomes the first woman to speak in public to "promiscuous" audiences. Meet Bella Abzug, Shirley Chisholm, Sojourner Truth, Lucretia Mott, Eleanor Roosevelt, Golda Meir, Anne Hutchinson and Abigail Adams, Victoria Woodhull (the first woman to run for president) and Hillary Clinton. Learn about bloomers, suffrage, maternal profiling, Seneca Falls, abolition and more! \\For the school and classroom program, SHE'S HISTORY takes a fully portable, grade-appropriate, one-woman theatrical presentation about trail-blazing women in American history into middle and high school classrooms and auditoriums.
