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.
We performed this play live for years, both in person and virtually during the pandemic. We now have a film version with updated songs and a few surprises for those who have seen the stage performances.

“I thought the film was fabulous. It was educational and entertaining at the same time. I think this piece should be shown to young girls to give them the opportunity to see what women have endured to get us where we are today. It also shows what women are capable of."
“This film must be see by every student is schools in the U.S. and by every congressperson. Powerful....it must go on."
“The play is one of the most entertaining and interesting re-enactments of the history of women I have seen to date."
