Memorable Women In History Moments

"One of my most cherished memories with Women In History was performing Dorothy Fuldheim. With each audience I would ask, “Did anyone here know Dorothy?” Every single performance someone raised their hand, and more often, a few people had a personal memory or story to share about Dorothy. The post-performance discussions became a living archive, a museum of memories, the audience shared with me."
