A WOMAN SCORNED

When professional accountant Tanya Lowney gets rejected for her bank loan, she figures it was because she had bad credit. When she finds out she's making 73% less than her male coworkers, she figures it's because they're better at accounting than she is. And when the boss grabs her butt cheek at the company picnic, she figures that "boys will be boys."

But then, in a seance gone horribly wrong, Tanya summons the ghost of early feminist Susan B. Anthony. In only moments Tanya is infected, and the evil spirit of Susan B. Anthony fills her with a terrible urge to kill all men on earth and gives her the superpowers to do it. Nothing can stop Tanya's insane rage, especially since she isn't married and has never had children.

As she rips up the constitution in the rubble of what was once our nations beloved capitol, her evil super-powers giving her man-like strength, ace journalist Jack O'Brian approaches her with his notepad and camera. His piercing gaze and stubbled jaw would make the harshest lesbian swoon, but Tanya appears unmoved. Only when Jack saves her from a snake does her heart open up to him, and only when he teaches her to drive does she realize that she loves him. With the helpless curses of Susan B. Anthony ringing up from hell as their soundtrack, the couple uses Tanya's powers to undo all the harm she has done, and to make the world a safer place for kids besides. Lesson learned.

A WOMAN SCORNED: A movie soon to be available from Screamingly Good Screenplays.

Hey, maybe you can add a part in your play about how Susan B. Anthony's name makes it sound like she wants to be a dude or she should be a dude.
