The show received rave reviews from critics and parents alike.  Stewart Lewis of WCBS radio called Fishbeyn a "comic genius," and described the show as a poignant critique of our society’s treatment of women.  Mothers have called the show "The Vagina Monologues for MOMS" and "chicken soup for marriages."  The show has been featured at the famed La MaMa Experimental Theater Club, Stuyvesant Town, the JCC, and played at the Museum of Motherhood Conference, sponsored by Mamapalooza.  Ms. Fishbeyn has transformed the solo show into an ensemble piece for its premiere at Manhattan Repertory Theatre in July 2011.

Ms. Fishbeyn's articles, such as, "Wall Street Makeover," "The Silence of Jane Eyre," and "The Miniskirt Dilemma," examine the media-engendered pressures and socially acceptable double-standards affecting women and mothers today. Her novel-in-progress, The Matrimonial Flirtations of Emma Kaulfield, depicts a woman grappling with feminism, love and a splintered identity.
