| "Your sensitive portrayal...was the perfect kick-off to our month-long series of events for Women's History Month. While the performance most closely paralleled events in The Yellow Wallpaper, it gave us a glimpse into the complex, creative mind that created Herland....We hope you continue to take this wonderful one-woman show across the country. Charlotte Perkins Gilman was a woman everyone should get to know—your performance helped students, community members and even administrators here at the University of Wisconsin—La Crosse do just that." | |

| "Your performance was brilliant! One of the emails I received from a top manager stated, “That was a terrific performance and a great learning experience.” So you certainly left a lasting impression on the employees here at NARA. I will definitely keep you in mind when talking to my colleagues about possible programs at their agencies. | |

| "Timmons' characterization was so persuasive... This wonderful actress creates a ... passionate social crusader, ... [a] brilliant, perceptive woman." | |

| "...a well-nuanced performance that never flags. The show also has broad appeal, from feminist literati to general audiences. From a presenter's perspective, the show is a dream—-completely flexible, minimal technical requirements, adaptable to almost any space." | |
| Jon Palmer Claridge Director of Performing Arts Arlington (VA) Cultural Affairs Division |
|
| "Your presentation achieved just what we want for our programming...: a performance that is exciting, entertaining, and, most important, educational. Your sensitive portrayal of this female reformer made us acutely aware, almost a hundred years later—near the dawn of the twenty-first century, of the contemporaneity of Gilman's turn-of-the-twentieth-century concerns on the subject of women's issues." | |

| "The evening was an unqualified success. Ms. Timmons is a deft playwright who has managed to convey the life of writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman in a fast-moving, consistently interesting dramatic monologue... As an actress, she is a marvel." | |
| Michael P. Parker Chair, Department of English United States Naval Academy |
