Strong Women

Still Point has created a short theatrical piece entitled Strong Women, which is built solely around poetry written by women incarcerated at the Cook County jail. This inspiring performance explores the shock of arrival and separation from children, the experience of

incarceration and abuse, the search for one's spirit in the midst of adversity, and the quest to grow as a person and eventually release long-held fears.
The piece is performed by current or past facilitators in the Persephone Project prison workshops. The thirty minute performance is followed by brief reflections given by the performers about their own experiences working with women in prison.
Reviews
"Strong Women is a powerful production that truly expresses the real feelings of women that are incarcerated whose voices need to be heard and not silenced because of a crime. Strong Women has a way of expressing the pain, shame and guilt but not excusing the crime..."
