Women of Power Series

"HISTORY IS TOO MUCH ABOUT WARS; BIOGRAPHY IS TOO MUCH ABOUT GREAT MEN."

Virginia Woolf said that 70 years ago -- if you look at today's classrooms, newspapers, films, and television not enough has changed. That's why we are working to complete a new historic series.

When finished, the series will include not only the Women of Power documentaries produced or co-produced by Flare Productions-- on Ruth Berlau, Virginia Woolf, Hildegard of Bingen, and Ada Byron Lovelace, but also a number of fine documentaries made by other filmmakers.

The Women of Power series is designed for global broadcast as well as for use in universities, colleges, & high schools.

For more information and to support the project please contact Flare Productions.

OPPORTUNITIES to support the project:

  • Contribute to Flare directly or make your check out to MITH, as both are not-for-profit 501 (c) 3 organizations. Contributions are tax-deductible and can be earmarked for the Women of Power series. The sums needed for a fine series are large, but the number of people who are then able to view such a series is also great.
