Sure to inspire the leaders of tomorrow
"Fast-paced with its lessons and bold in its message...this play is sure to inspire the leaders of tomorrow.... Grisanti has interwoven chanting, prose-like recitation of Sojourner Truth's and Alice Paul's famous speeches with the bop and slang of modern teenage girl vernacular. ... At its core, the relationship of two step-sisters trying to understand each other and the world, past and present was quite powerful."
- Keith Waits, BroadwayWorld (2020)
