A Simple Herstory is a series that aims to challenge preconceived notions about women in politics, historical storytelling, and our perceptions of American culture. It takes lesser-known stories, presents them, and then works to deconstruct them - creatively, hilariously, and expansively.

At a time when theater is in dire straits - on a shoestring, the show has grown partnerships, and they now have projects in development for immersive, theatrical, historical, political, and other cross medium events - attracting audiences of many disciplines, inspiring new approaches.

"The Winners of this year's Anthem Awards are truly inspiring and I am honored to help elevate their impact," said Anthem Awards General Manager, Patricia McLoughlin. "At this moment, there is a lot of uncertainty in our world, but the tireless and extraordinary efforts of the Anthem Awards community provide hope that a better tomorrow is possible. Thank you to everyone doing this work and making an impact."

The 4th Annual Anthem Awards was the most competitive season yet with more than 2,300 entries submitted from 34 countries worldwide. By amplifying the voices that spark global change, the Anthem Awards are defining a new benchmark for impactful work that inspires others to take action in their communities. A portion of program revenue is allocated to our grant program, The Anthem Fund.

About A Simple Herstory:

A Simple Herstory is a groundbreaking, Webby-honored, multi-platform audio fiction exploration of the 100+ women who have run for President of the United States. The initial season revolves around Victoria Woodhull, arguably the first woman to run in 1872, before women had the right to vote. The ongoing series, starring a pantheon of stage luminaries, shows us that complex, ambitious women have never stopped running.
