Synopsis
Travel back to the early days of Hollywood to meet twelve women who made it all happen. Twelve diverse actors, directors, writers, editors, designers, and producers who fought against sexism, racism, and prejudice to have their voices heard. And who changed the industry forever. Their influence can still be seen and felt today.
Susan Goldman Rubin, who often writes about the arts and who lives near Hollywood, follows the paths these twelve took. Paths that included not only social, economic, and personal struggles but also major triumphs. And whose films are everlasting.
So grab your popcorn and sit back. The curtain is about to rise.
“These women did not just build Hollywood, they contributed to its longevity. They were breaking ground and breaking stereotypes. They were role models. They were a founding generation of women in Hollywood who helped future generations not only exist but have the powerful and diverse voices that they have now.”—Academy Award–Winning Costume Designer Ruth E. Carter
