She was the first US delegate to the United Nations and served as the first chair of the UN Commission on Human Rights, overseeing the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. She went on to chair the Presidential Commission on the Status of Women which was instrumental in forming state commissions on women's status and eventually the National Organization for Women.

About Ancelin Wolfe "I wanted to keep the momentum going after the Women’s March in January 2017. I’m concerned how much effort it takes to make democracy work and it goes for all levels. I joined the Medfield Huddle which is where the idea of performing We Did It For You in Massachusetts was born.” Ancelin has been on the boards of the Rhode Island Rape Crisis Center, The Puppet Workshop, Inc., and First Night Providence. She currently serves on the Medfield Historical Commission. She has performed with the Trinity Square Repertory Company and with The Barrington Players.   “Catchy musical numbers, a dash of comic relief, and a huge history lesson on feminism.” –Hometown Weekly “So outstanding, I got goose bumps and cried.
