The New York Times has deemed this extraordinary collection to be "the crown jewels of public and network television."
This play presents the true stories of women who sought independence at any cost. The compelling text is taken entirely from the diaries, journals and letters of the characters portrayed, among them: Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the powerful founder of the women's suffrage movement; the famous labor organizer "Mother" Mary Jones; and Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, a frontier minister who protected herself by carrying a fully-loaded pistol at all times. Sars two-time Oscar-winner Dianne Wiest (Hannah and Her Sisters) and two-time Emmy-winner Carol Kane (Taxi).
