DESCRIPTION:Berkeley, Ca. -- Audiences in the Bay Area will be able to experience a 
 passionate, timely play about a unique advocate for peace, free speech, 
 women, children, labor, immigrants, Native and African Americans, and 
 Holocaust refugees. Jeannette Rankin was elected, even before Suffrage, as 
 the first congresswoman. She voted against US entry into both world wars: 
 In 1917, and again in 1941 when hers was the lone dissenting voice, (as was 
 Rep. Barbara Lee against the Iraq invasion in 2002). In 1968 she led the 
 Jeannette Rankin Brigade of 5000 women on the Capitol in DC against the 
 Vietnam War and demanded unilateral disarmament, nuclear and otherwise. She 
 once said, "You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake."      
 With the original cast A Single Woman creator, Jeanmarie Simpson, performs 
 the role of Rankin: "It's vital that people meet Jeannette Rankin, her 
 words, her actions and her remarkable character. The more people become 
 involved, the more of an impact Jeannette's voice can make on contemporary 
 culture." Critics have broadly acclaimed the play: "Simpson cleverly 
 portrays Rankin's fury by violently kneading bread – a dual task women 
 often perform). When (she) speaks, the air is electrified; her words are 
 surely filled with as much power as Rankin's ever were…timing and emotion 
 are intense and flawless." Miranda Jesch, Reno News and Review.   \n
