A Simple Herstory is a deviant, multi-platform, award-winning audio fiction exploration of the 100+ women who have run for President of the United States. The initial season revolves around Victoria Woodhull, the first woman to run in 1872 - before women had the right to vote. Season 1 is presented by The Muse Project and the Obie winning theater company, The Tank.

The first season of A Simple Herstory features some of the nation's finest stage performers, including Kara Young, Florencia Lozano, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Kate Burton, Maria Dizzia, Tonya Pinkins, among many more. Noted theater critic, David Cote, describes Herstory's first season as an "exhilarating ride." The series is also Executive Produced by the Peabody Award winning creator, Jenny Turner Hall.

In 2022, the team for Herstory was crowned The Tank's Artists of the Year, and the series was featured in Forbes. Herstory partnered with the Tony winning company, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival (OSF), for their Quills Fest to produce an installation of the podcast with the Merchant's House Museum in New York. For the festival, the team also collaborated with Welcome to Night Vale's Cecil Baldwin, and engaged in a panel discussion with The Horror of Dolores Roach's Aaron Mark. This festival won a 2023 Telly Award (Bronze Telly Award - People's Telly - Immersive & Mixed Reality).

Recently, the podcast was featured at the Arlington County Fair and the Theatre Week Kickoff Fest at Arena Stage.
