We begin with the story of the new matriarchs of the Lenape Indians, the original Native American inhabitants. We then tell the stories of women trailblazers including the only woman to start a village in colonial America, the first woman to be injured in fighting during the Revolutionary War, enslaved women, women suffragists, Wall Street pioneers, religious leaders, groundbreaking writers, social justice crusaders, philanthropists, and 9/11 heroes.
