What I liked

I appreciate that more playwrights are making the effort to tackle touchy cultural issues.
Libby Baumgartner’s writing is still young, but her passion for social change is inspiring.
For me, the standout performance came from Olivia Leyva, particularly in her role as a woman being harassed outside a clinic.

What I didn't like

There were a lot of changes of set pieces that could have been simplified to streamline the storytelling, and it was a little overwhelming that they were so many stories. The pace moves quickly, but it’s a lot to absorb and might benefit from focusing on a few issues rather than trying to tackle them all.

My overall impression

A series of vignettes focusing on the issues women face in a world where they are still bombarded with inequality and misogny on a daily basis.
