The Living History Program is sponsored by the Women's Studies Program and is currently in its seventeenth year. Each year the Living History Program recruits students to portray women in history at local elementary schools during Women's History and Awareness Month in March. Students are asked to research a woman of their choice, develop a 10-minute monologue, and help devise a costume. They may earn up to three credit hours if they choose but many students participate just for the experience. Past presentations have included Joan of Arc, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Jane Austen, Carmen de Burgos, Sandra Day O'Connor, Beatrix Potter, Mary Rose Tudor, Sacajawea, Queen Noor, Juliette Gordon Low, Betsy Ross, Louisa May Alcott, Francesca Caccini, Babe Didrikson, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Jane Addams, Emily Dickinson, and Bernadette Maginn Zuber (portrayed by her granddaughter Amanda Zuber), Frida Kahlo, Catherine the Great, Louise Nevelson, Mary Rowlandson, Flossie Wong-Staal, Victoria Woodhull, Myra Bradwell, Lady Jane Grey, Madame C.J. Walker, Jacqueline Cochran, Margaret Wise Brown, Elizabeth I, Nellie Bly, Billie Jean King, Abigail Adams, Molly Brown, Jenny Scott and Kitty O'Neil.
