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. Originally developed for the Women’s Journey Conference of Orange County, 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.
"The play is one of the most entertaining and interesting re-enactments of the history of women I have seen to date. It is so well put together that it easily captures the interests of all age groups-especially our younger generation ...who need to know where we have been in order to see the potential of where we can go when we work together!"

Why we are doing this
The United States is losing ground in terms of female role models. (Source) There was more involvement in the 1970s. This inspiring play helps remind women the importance of being involved in leadership roles. Mothers and fathers love this play, want their high school kids to see it, learn from it, perform it. Ordinary women stood up and fought for the future, and because they did, we have our rights today. Let's take this message nationwide.
Wear the past, be the futureTM

About Our Cast
Our actors that perform in WE DID IT FOR YOU! are older women who believe in the importance of educating women, especially young women, about the power and contribution of the women that came before. Each volunteer has researched the woman she represents and gives of her time and talent so that other women will understand how far they’ve come and what is left to be done.
