WE DID IT FOR YOU! is
a unique musical designed to educate everyone about the struggle of
women to gain their rights and their on-going efforts to gain equality
with men. In this play, a young high-school student learns about the
eras when women had no rights and how they fought to get them. Written
by Dr. Thea Iberall and seen by thousands across California, We Did It For You! is an eye-opening tale, fun and educational, told through the stories of the historical women who made it happen.
