Miss Ellie
"One of the most powerful, educational and fun experience in learning I have ever witnessed. Miss Ellie has mastered the art of delivering Women's History in a forum that is non traditional yet mesmerizing. I recommend her for all ages, races and nationalities. " 
~Sergeant First Class Arlisa E. Rivers, Diversity Manager and Equal Opportunity Advisor, Fort Hood, Texas 
 

“So much year after year in history we look at the book and take a test on it. I’m excited about getting involved in it and seeing it firsthand. It will make it stick in my mind better because I’ve kinda done what they might have done.”

~16-year-old Brandy Hanson
"Ms. Ellie's presentation at the National Women's History Project convention was outstanding. The characters she brings to life flesh out the amazing accomplishments of women in the 19th Century and fill in the many gaps missing in our school history books. Miss Ellie's show is enlightening, entertaining and inspiring. It made me excited to run home and do my own research on more of these courageous women instrumental in American History.
This program is appropriate for males and females
of all ages 7 to 97 ! "
