QUALIFIED: THIS ESPN FILM TO PREMIER IN MAY (KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED!)



Keep this film on your radar!  I have seen it and it is awesome.  It/s an  ESPN film about  Janet Guthrie, who took on intensely vicious sexism as a top race car driver in the 70s and 80s.  Stay tuned for my interview with director Jenna Ricker.  #espnfilms #qualified #jennaricker #jennaguthrie

WHO'S SHE? A NEW GUESSING GAME ABOUT FAMOUS WOMEN FROM HISTORY

I am super excited about this new game by the company Playeress. Inspired by the popular game "Guess Who?", "Who's She?" was the brainchild of Polish inventor Zuzanna Kozerska-Girard.  By showing female idols and heroines from a diverse set of professions, originas, and time periods, "Who's She?"  shows boys and girls (and adults!) that women are inspiring and powerful.
The game features well-known women like Frida Kahlo, but also lesser-known females like Egyptian Pharoah Hatshepsut and Formula One Race Car driver Lella Lombardi.
There is a wood version of the game, and also a less expensive cardboard version of the game which includes 2 boards with paper flaps and  28 cut-it-yourself biography cards.
The information below is taken directly from their website:
WHO'S SHE is a two player tabletop game about courageous women who changed the world. From Hatshepsut to Serena Williams. Discover their incredible adventures!  
Clever icons printed on the board give you a quick summary about their life stories.  
Guess their identity by asking about their accomplishments, not their appearance, with questions like: Did she win a Nobel Prize? Did she make a discovery? Was she a spy? 
The game includes 28 biography cards full of fun and interesting anecdotes about their life stories.
Inside the box : 
  • 2 boards, each with 28 frames featuring stunning watercolor portraits printed directly on wood 
  • 2 legend strips to help you understand the icons 
  • 28 'mighty women's' biography cards packed with fun and interesting anecdotes 
  •  the rulebook
