Abigail Adams Amy Simon is a Mom On A Mission. When her ten-year-old
daughter came home from school one March stating she was planning on
doing her women's history project on Cher, this
Writer/Performer/Cultural Herstorian knew something needed to be done.
Drawing on diaries, letters, publications, and biographies and
combining theater, history, multimedia, audience interaction, 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, Amy Simon poignantly finds the funny as she
chronicles the struggles and accomplishments of our unheralded,
unknown and forgotten heroines whose courage and strength inspire her
as she raises her two daughters. Watch Elizabeth Cady Stanton and
Susan B. Anthony multi-task just like today's mom - running the house,
fixing dinner and corralling the kids, all while working on the
Fourteenth Amendment. Hear about our first feminist writer Mary
Wollstonecraft, and listen, as Frances Wright becomes the first woman
to speak in public to "promiscuous" audiences. Learn how Alice Paul
stole President Wilson's parade, and see how she suffered for the
cause. Watch Nancy Pelosi become the First Female Speaker of The
House, witness Sojourner Truth's powerful Ain't I A Woman speech and
experience Shirley Chisholm's humanity. See what inspired Bella Abzug,
Lucretia Mott, Eleanor Roosevelt and Golda Meir. Hear about Lilly
Ledbetter and Equal Pay, Victoria Woodhull (the first woman to run for
president) and Hillary Clinton, bloomers, suffrage, maternal
profiling, the road to Seneca Falls, abolition and more! It's all
there in a fast-paced GALA-PALOOZA honoring Female America. Check out
her website at www.sheshistory.com From the mom who brought you
Cheerios In My Underwear which held the record as the longest running
solo show in Los Angeles, until it was broken by SHE'S HISTORY!. Amy
Simon is an actress, playwright, improviser, published writer,
producer, and self-proclaimed Cultural Herstorian, who has been acting
in and producing theater for most of her adult life. She writes,
blogs, performs and entertains on the radio, online, and onstage
furthering her mission to turn the world on to all the fabulous
females we don't know enough about. She is the mother of two daughters
who can tell you all about the first woman to run for President. THE
