Joan Wolfberg is a Chautauqua scholar and professional actress formerly with the New Mexico Endowment for the Humanities and the Florida Humanities Council. Currently serving on the National Speakers Bureau of United Jewish Communities, Joan travels throughout the country weaving a tapestry of drama and history into an educational and inspirational tale that focuses on the growth and development of the women she portrays. Through the magic of make-up, along with her acting ability and her heartfelt affinity for her characters, Joan is able to convince audiences that they are, in fact, in the presence of Eleanor Roosevelt or Golda Meir.

Eleanor Roosevelt: No Ordinary Woman
For more than 30 years, Eleanor Roosevelt was the most powerful woman in America, and she comes to life before your very eyes when Joan Wolfberg takes you on an amazing journey, from Eleanor's shy, awkward childhood, to life as the First Lady, and later to the United Nations. Along the way you'll learn of her belief in the equality of women, civil rights, human rights, politics, and freedom. You'll discover her relationship with FDR and others, her strengths, her weaknesses, her sense of humor, and her ideals for justice and decency.

Golda Meir: From Pogrom to Prime Minister
As a child, Golda Meir, knowing the fear of pogroms in Russia, dreamed of a homeland for her people in Palestine. Her dream became a reality in 1921. Golda's continued commitment to her land and to her people was the paragon of human dedication. Her complete involvement, tempered with love, fired by fierce devotion, and a wonderful sense of humor caused the world to know that she was a true mover of mountains. Joan Wolfberg, as Golda, takes you from the pogroms to Milwaukee, to Denver, to Palestine, and finally to a life in a state of our own - Israel - as Prime Minister.
