BACK TO INDEX                   RESPECT

RESPECT is a result of five years of research, writing and development. It began when I was asked to do a presentation in 1999 at a Baha'i Social and Economic Development conference, since equality of men and women is one of the principles taught by Baha'u'llah ("The world of humanity has two wings. One is women and the other men. Not until both wings are equally developed can the bird fly.") Because I was experimenting with music in my leadership programs, I decided to add some music to those presentations. As I did the research to find a few songs, I realized that popular music tells the whole story of women in the 20th century so I wrote a book, RESPECT: Women and Popular Music and began a new career as a one-woman show, which I have performed all around the US and the world, and now has evolved into a four- woman musical theatre production.
