Judy Chicago Dinner Party, 2014

I feel a bond over time and distance with Hrotsvitha- both of us single females of German extraction, dedicated to Christ,Education, and Drama living a thousand years apart. Her few known works reveal the same struggles we have today between the call of the World and the call of God. In her dramas, she specifically attempted to answer the question "why can't we write good theatre that encourages good behavior?" With the question of violence in media, and "sex,drugs and rock and roll" still plaguing society," I'd say we are still working on it. For me personally,it is nice to think of an ancestress "up there" cheering me on.
