“…an inventive play that champions women’s rights, women’s ingenuity, and the difficult choices they encounter and as such it is worth viewing. It will be a cause for celebration as well as a source for discussion.” -National Herald

“The play is a moving testament to women’s resilience, both in the past and present and highlights the importance of speaking up to violence instead of staying silent.” -Daily Titan
