PODCAST: Miles Apart Together (audio editing/mixing)
Three of history’s most groundbreaking female pioneers come together to reflect on how much – or how little - has changed for women in society, family and work within the last century.
They said she couldn’t do it, but she did.
Join us for this virtual live theatre performance Miles Apart Together, where three of history’s most groundbreaking female pioneers come together to reflect on how much – or how little - has changed for women in society, family and work within the last century.
Miles Apart Together explores the feats of Bessie Coleman (the first woman of African American descent to hold a pilot license), Junko Tabei (the first woman to reach the peak of Mt. Everest) and Annie ‘Londonderry’ Kopchovsky (a Latvian immigrant and the first woman to cycle around the world). All three women fought and conquered against the prejudice and scepticism that kept surrounding them.
Their achievements became milestones in the path towards women’s rights and freedom, challenging the assumption that the “fairer sex” lacks the physical and mental stamina for epic feats. Although their adventures were as breathtaking, spellbinding and phenomenal as the achievements of their male counterparts, where are their stories now?
For one night only Annie, Bessie and Junko come together for a live recording of a podcast and share their incredible stories.
