By 1912, she was the object of ruthless gossip over an alleged affair with the married Frenchman Paul Langevin, all but erasing her achievements from public memory.

Refined British dialect but she’s not above using strong language. A brazen, ambitious, fiercely, intelligent, engineer, inventor, and suffragist.

Of Jewish origin, she became an agnostic pragmatist who changed her name from Sarah to Hertha after a Swinburne poem about a goddess of the earth.Please come prepared with a short (90 second max) monologue and be prepared to read from the script.

Kennelly Review :Mean Girls
by Laura Kennelly 01 Nov '24

01 Nov '24

It’s not *Carrie* or *Heathers* (no one ends up dead, although someone does get hit by a bus), but it is definitely one of those “high school is hell for girls” musicals that teaches a lesson about how to treat others (which is, “as you would like to be treated,” of course). https://coolcleveland.com/2024/10/theater-review-mean-girls-playhouse-squar…
