Celebrate Women’s History Month with a Story History Tried to Erase — That Woman by Molly Breen & Angela Gimlin

This Women’s History Month, step into the shadows of Camelot and meet the women who refused to stay silent. In That Woman, playwright Molly Breen breathes life into the women who stood at the edge of power, passion, and politics — only to have their names reduced to footnotes. Until now.

While history books tell the story of President John F. Kennedy as a beloved leader and cultural icon, That Woman asks a more provocative question: What about the women? The lovers, confidantes, and casualties of power — who were they really, and what did they risk to be part of his world?

The Story Unfolds

Set in a space where time bends and secrets surface, That Woman imagines a world where these women finally meet — face to face — to tell their truths. They compare notes, question loyalties, and expose not only their private moments with Kennedy, but also their private struggles with ambition, shame, and desire in a time when women’s stories were rarely heard.

This isn’t just a history lesson — it’s a reckoning.

Meet More of That Woman’s Cast of Characters

In addition to the well-known Marilyn Monroe and Judith Campbell Exner, you’ll meet:

• Gunilla von Post, the Swedish aristocrat whose love affair with JFK began before his presidency, with dreams of a life that never came to pass.
• Blaze Starr, a burlesque queen who knew how to captivate a room — even if that room included a future president.
• Jacqueline Kennedy, not as a symbol, but as a woman grappling with the image of her husband versus the man she married.
• Mary Pinchot Meyer, the artist, activist, and lover whose murder remains one of Washington’s most mysterious unsolved crimes.



Why This Play Matters for Women’s History Month

That Woman isn’t just about scandal — it’s about agency. These women didn’t only shape a president’s personal life; they shaped a generation’s cultural and political moment. Each of them paid a price for stepping into his orbit, but their stories reveal just how complex and powerful women can be, even when history tries to silence them.

This Women’s History Month, don’t just honor the stories we already know — uncover the ones we’ve been denied.
