{Put a Woman in Charge}



.........................................................

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-openerand a jaw-dropper,” wrote Marilyn Stasio for VarietyThe 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!!
