"IT ALL STARTED

with a group of women, chatting. They didn't know each other well, if at all- but as it goes, once one gets a dynamic group of women together chatting, one's willing to bet they'll start talkin'- especially those theatre types. Introductions out of the way, they began to share embarrassing stories about issues affecting them as women- everything from being a "seat bleeder" to jillin' in public. As the conversation grew, these ladies realized that there is a whole lotta stuff that women don't really talk about. There seemed to be a prevailing culture of silence, invisible walls isolating them from forming a shared community with each other. They wanted to change that. Therefore, on a not-so infamous- day, they decided to form The F-Word Ladies: a group of artists expressing themselves as women, opening dialogue for females (and males, or however you choose to identify your beautiful-little-self) to talk about things they reaaalllly don't talk about."
