The two plays my twin sister and I have written shine a spotlight on two women who were funny and truthful, and had loyal fans from coast to coast. Molly Ivins' words are as prescient today as when she was alive, and particularly relevant as we enter an election year. Erma Bombeck's thoughts on family and motherhood continue to strike chords with both men and women. The play highlights the two years she spent stumping for the Equal Rights Amendment, which makes it especially timely as the Amendment is again up for debate.
