THE MEMORY OF

"My mother told me to be a lady.
And for her, that meant be your own person, be independent." - R.B. Ginsburg

The year 2020 marks 100 years since the passage of the 19th Amendment giving 26 million women the right to vote. While it failed to enfranchise women of color, it was a huge step towards equality. 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. A dedicated troupe of volunteer women (from cities and towns around the nation) who care about women's rights and active participation in our democracy are determined to entertain and educate you with this incredible experience. All virtual. All FREE thanks to our generous sponsors. Please support them by coming to see our shows.

Playwright Thea Iberall, Massachusetts "I wrote this play because women need to be part of the leadership so that their voices and values are heard. These historical women didn’t just stand by. If Susan B. Anthony, or Alice Paul, or Rosa Parks were alive today, what social cause would she be fighting for? It is time we all act."   We Did It For You! Women's Journey Through History is working with national and state organizations to celebrate and highlight women's suffrage and the importance of voting. We are proud partners of:   Vision 2020 Women 100 focuses on shared leadership, youth education, economic parity, and civic engagement. It has created a Voter Mobilization campaign during 2020 will encourage women to vote in record numbers in the 2020 national election. Suffrage100MA is dedicated 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. See us on the calendar of: The mission of the 2020 Women’s Vote Centennial Initiative is to serve as a central organizing and information-sharing entity for programs, projects, and activities that commemorate the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, educate the public on the legal and social advances resulting from the amendment, and stimulate dialogue to address the ongoing fight for women’s rights.
