KET Friday, July 10 • 9/8 pm KET2 Thursday, July 16 • 9/8 pm
Delve into the stories of American heroines from the early years of the fight for equal rights, when women faced limited career and educational choices. These extraordinary women charted their own paths and achieved many firsts, such as founding a hospital, fighting for the desegregation of public spaces, exploring the Arctic, opening a film studio, and singing opera at Carnegie Hall. Their fascinating stories are brought back to life thanks to original artwork and animation, rare historical archival footage, and interviews with historians and descendants.
