Part 1 of 2

In honor of Women's History Month, Julie Butters performs "Ahead of Their Time: Inspiring Women of Literature." In this collection of dramatic readings, Julie brings to life some of classic literature's most exciting leading ladies, along with several historical women who created brilliant works in defense of their gender including Lysistrata, Joan of Arc, Anna E. Dickinson ("America's Joan of Arc"), Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, Louisa May Alcott, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Christine de Pizan, and more.

Julie Butters is a Salem-based actress and writer, a cantor at St. John the Evangelist Church in Swampscott and St. Thomas Aquinas Church in Nahant, and an aide at the Swampscott Public Library. A graduate of Harvard University, where she co-chaired the Hyperion Shakespeare Company, Julie has portrayed many inspiring women, including Julian of Norwich, Jo March, and Jane Eyre.

You can also listen to Julie on the ReachArts podcast for a discussion and recitation of Emily Dickinson’s poetry.
