Over half of all the visual artists working today are women, but the paintings and sculptures shown in many galleries and museums tell a different story because they're usually the work of men. In this second book for older readers Kate Pankhurst, tells the fascinating stories of some of history's most talented female artists. Fantastically Great Women Who Changed the World follows the young heroine, Jade, as she goes on a school trip and discovers the Gallery of Greatness in a closed wing of a museum. Inside, the exhibits come to life and Jade meets some of history’s most impressive women, including Rosa Parks, Frida Kahlo, Amelia Earhart, Marie Curie and, of course, Emmeline Pankhurst. Chichester Festival Theatre is a registered charity. Charity no. 1088552. Chichester Festival Theatre is a company limited by guarantee. Company no. 4210225.No DREAM is too BIG if you just believe in yourself. And these strong, ambitious and FANTASTICALLY GREAT women prove it. They've conquered the tallest mountains, made game-changing discoveries, stood up for women's rights and protected our beautiful, fragile planet. I’ve learnt a lot just over the last four weeks of rehearsals so hopefully that translates on stage. I love how Chris (Bush) who has adapted the book into the play has made the stories of women who wouldn’t have crossed in real time combined them. So you have Amelia Earhart and Sacagawea, who would never have met in real time doing a scene together and they know each other and are friends in this after life. And then Emmeline Pankhurst pops in and speaks to them as well! And it’s cool how their relationships are built within the story. It’s like a celebration and helping Jade.
