Eleanor Roosevelt wasn’t just a First Lady; she was First Lady of the World. First Lady introduces audiences to some of the most influential women of the 20th century.

LaRue, Michele	Someone Must Wash the Dishes: An Anti-Suffrage Satire	History, Performing Arts- Theater	Many women fought against getting the vote in the early 1900s, but none with more charm, prettier clothes—and less logic—than the fictional speaker in this satiric monologue written by pro-suffragist Marie Jenney Howe, back in 1912. “Woman suffrage is the reform against nature,” declares Howe’s unlikely, but irresistibly likeable, heroine. “Ladies, get what you want. Pound pillows. Make a scene. Make home a hell on earth—but do it in a womanly way! That is so much more dignified and refined than walking up to a ballot box and dropping in a piece of paper!” Reviewers have called this production “wicked” in its wit, and have labeled Michèle LaRue’s performance "side-splitting." LaRue is a professional actress who tours nationally with a repertoire of shows by turn-of-the-previous-century American writers. A period satire written by pro-Suffragist Marie Jenney Howe and originally published in 1913, by the National American Woman Suffrage Association (precursor of the League of Women Voters). This production, produced by The East Lynne Company, premiered in March 1994, during New York City’s fourth-annual Womenkind Festival. Subsequent performance sites and presenters have included over 50 libraries, among them Chicago’s Newberry Library.	$201- $350
