That Takes Ovaries
A book, a play, an International Open Mike Movement and an Organizing Tool for Women and Girls' Empowerment was held on March 4, 2009.

The event included an interactive talk workshop with true stories of risk-taking courageous women. Audience members shared experiences at an open mike. Everyone who shared received the Golden Ovary award; a chocolate egg wrapped in gold foil!
