What were you doing in 1981?
The newly elected President of the United States was Ronald Reagan. For a brief period of time we were not at war. The first personal computer was put on sale. AIDS was a mystery without a name. Big hair. Gigantic shoulder pads. MTV!
And the very first woman ever to serve on the Supreme Court, Sandra Day O’Connor, was nominated by the President.
What was it like to be a woman in 1981? Can you recall?
Talking With… by Jane Martin looks at the varied lives of women in that distant decade. Eleven women – eleven stories. The play is a funny, bittersweet, and sometimes savage testimonial about who we were and who we wanted to become. Remember with us.
