The Woman Question

A new play with local roots, The Woman Question unearths the stories of medical pioneers who led the charge for women’s health and reproductive freedom 150 years ago. This world premiere docu-fantasy follows the 1894 class of the Woman’s Medical College of Pennsylvania, an intrepid cohort of students whose struggles and joys reverberate across centuries. Written and performed by acclaimed theatre-maker Suli Holum in collaboration with People's Light Company Artist Melanye Finister and a remarkable cast and creative team, The Woman Question blends archival research, flights of collective imagination, and a delightful, Victorian-infused theatricality.
