Women's History and Women's Rights
There was a time when women couldn’t have jobs and had no voting rights. Women were property passed from father to husband. High-school student Melanie must learn how things changed.
We Did It For You! Women's Journey Through History is the story of how women got their rights in America, told by the women who were there. It is an entertaining and quick tour through the journey, starting with the struggle women had in the 17th century Puritan Revolution through to our 21st century empowered women politicians. It has been performed across California for thousands of high school students, college students, and adults. On Women's Equality Day 2017, We Did It For You! began performances in Massachusetts. A dedicated troupe of volunteer women who care about women's rights and active participation in our democracy are determined to entertain and educate you with this incredible experience.
We Did It For You! is now in a theatrical residency at the Marilyn Rodman Performing Arts Center in Foxboro, MA. If you care about women's rights, come see the show and bring your friends and family. Many come back a second and third time to see it.
“The play is one of the most entertaining and interesting re-enactments of the history of women I have seen to date."
"Never has my heart been touched so deeply by a production. I urge you to run, don't walk, to see this magnificent performance!" - Women's Information Network
“The performance was so outstanding and moving that I got goose bumps and cried.” - Lilly Ledbetter, Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, the first act of legislation signed by President Obama
"An astonishing revelation of women's often unrecognized accomplishments throughout history, A multi century parade of feminine genius and courage ... with humor and fun.” -- Paul Williams, Oscar, Grammy and Golden Globe Winning Songwriter
New Empowerment Workshops
Take a positive action for a balanced society! We are using the We Did It For You! script as the foundation of new Empowerment Workshops. Explore the power and importance of women to our country. In this workshop, you will be able to think of ways how we, as women, can be true to the sacred trust we have been given by our foremothers. By knowing the past, we can see where we are going. For a better democracy, it’s in everyone’s interest that women are part of the leadership and backbone of the future.

A Celebration of American Women
One hundred years ago, American women — half of the U.S. population — were not allowed to vote, yet many Americans take that right for granted today, and one out of three eligible women fails to exercise her right.
Vision 2020’s Women 100 is a celebration of American women during the year 2020, when we mark the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: women’s right to vote. We Did It For You! will be one of the sister programs across the country supporting the 19th Amendment commemoration. Vision2020 Women 100

The Women's Suffrage Celebration Coalition of Massachusetts
The Women’s Suffrage Celebration Coalition of Massachusetts (WSCC) is dedicated to commemorating the upcoming 100th anniversary of the adoption of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1920, prohibiting the federal and state governments from denying citizens the right to vote on the basis of sex. The WSCC is a non-profit coalition that partners and collaborates with many organizations in Massachusetts and throughout the country that are also planning events to celebrate this historic occasion. Our goal is to increase voter participation, provide educational opportunities, celebrate the progress of women’s rights, and shine a light on what is needed to achieve full equality for women. http://suffrage100ma.org
