If you like Mad Men, you’ll love my new play. I’m just showing the first half (as a reading), but if you enjoy learning about history and feminist issues — and if you ever read Brenda Starr Reporter, you’ll love this play.
Watch a young female cartoonist as she fights her way into a male dominated culture in the 1940’s. Years later her granddaughter struggles with some of the same issues and discovers what is true and fiction about her grandmother’s amazing story.
