PUT A WOMAN IN CHARGE 

Way back when

In the beginning of time

Man made the fire then the wheel

Went from a horse to an automobile

He said, “the world is mine”

He took the oceans and the sky

He set the borders, built the walls

He won't stop ’til he owns it all

And here we are

Standing on the brink of disaster

Enough is enough is enough is enough

I know the answer

Put a woman in charge

Put the women in charge

The time has come

We've got to turn this world around

Call the mothers

Call the daughters

We need the sisters of mercy now

She'll be a hero

Not a fool

She’s got the power

To change the rules

She's got something

That men don't have (Yes we have)

She is kind and she understands

So let the ladies

Do what they were born to do

Raise the vibration

And make a better place for me and you

Put a woman in charge

Put the women in charge

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

We're gonna feel the magic

When the girls take over

It's gonna be fantastic

(We need more women in charge)

Put a woman in charge

Put the women in charge

{What the Constitution Means to Me}

“Fifteen-year-old Heidi Schreck put herself through college by giving speeches about the U.S. Constitution. The Obie Award winner resurrected her teenage self in order to trace the document's profound impact on women's bodies—starting with her great-great-grandmother, a mail-order bride who died under mysterious circumstances. This witty and searingly personal exploration breathes new life into our founding document and imagines how it will shape the next generation of American women.” [from the New York Theater Guide]

“Heidi Schreck’s affecting disquisition on the U.S. Constitution is an eye-opener—and a jaw-dropper,” wrote Marilyn Stasio for Variety. “The big reveal is that the actual word woman is not even mentioned in our Constitution. (Pause here for gasps from the audience.) Not once. Not in the Amendments that filled in the gaps. Not even in the Fourteenth Amendment that validates the equal rights of emancipated slaves. In fact, the Fifteenth Amendment specifically guarantees the right to vote regardless of race, color, or previous condition of servitude without acknowledging the inclusion of women in that right.” [Read the entire review.]

Thanks, Heidi, for educating us all!!
