365 Women a Year: A Playwriting Project is "a playwriting coalition involving more than 200 women writers from across the globe. Each woman has signed on to write one or more short plays about extraordinary women of the past and present. Our goals are to write women into the social consciousness, to empower and promote female playwrights, and to plant seeds of her story around the country and the world."
