She/Her. Although naive at times, EVE is stubborn–a force to be reckoned with, especially when she comes into her power.
She/Her. MEDUSA is not the monster she has been made out to be. Rather, she is a wise teacher; a nurturing mother figure; and, above all else, a ferocious feminist. Although a grounded woman, she is also not afraid to be vulnerable with her emotions.
Looking for three individuals. ENSEMBLE members are mischievous antagonists of the patriarchy. However, they are not always as grounded as Medusa who, at times, must remind them of the following: in order to practice true feminism, they must also support women’s wrongs.
