"We Did It For You: Women's Journey Through History"

We Did It For You! Women's Journey Through History

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.

Experience We Did It For You! inside the historic Ames Mansion's two-story ornate library, a place in which Blanche Ames Ames held many suffrage meetings.

This must-see performance is for Sunday, June 7, 2020 at 1pm inside the historic Ames mansion at Borderland State Park. Seating is limited! Must purchase tickets online. Once we are sold out, we are sold out.
