"This inspiring six-part series from the BBC dramatizes the stories of ten extraordinary women of the past four centuries through their personal diaries, journal entries and other original source documents. All of the women are ahead of their time, independent and strong willed. When faced with the smothering restrictions placed on them by the dictates of society, they hold their course to achieve their goals". ("Women, Word For Word", VHS,1997).
