Saginaw Valley State University's theatre department recently presented "Women Who Weave," a play that draws on Greek mythology to present heroism as a choice vs. a destiny. Written by J.S. Puller, a playwright and author from Chicago, "Women Who Weave" follows Atalanta, a plucky 12-year-old who - being excluded from the men's boar hunt - is convinced that females have no chance to be heroic.
