Story of the American Indian princess who risked her life to save English explorer John Smith. This profile goes beyond the myths we learned in childhood to chronicle the life of the real Pocahontas: a Native American stateswoman who dreamed of peaceful coexistence with the European settlers.

Chronicles the life of the early feminist who crusaded for equal pay, equal work, and women's suffrage, which led to the 19th Amendment to the Constitution. Also covers her union organizing work and her fight for the abolition of slavery prior to the Civil War.

An intimate portrait of the beloved humanitarian and former First Lady who was reviled by political opponents during her lifetime and whose husband's affair may have led to a secret one of her own.

Althea Gibson slammed her way through the color barrier into the world of international tennis. With a style of play she described as “aggressive, dynamic, and mean,” Althea brought a fierce athleticism to the women’s game, ushering in a new era in the sport. Her singles win at Wimbledon drew the attention of the world and a ticker-tape parade along Broadway. With rarely seen archival photographs and interviews with those closest to Althea, this film creates a rich portrait of the African American community of 1950‘s Harlem who saw her potential and nurtured her talent – including the exclusive Cosmopolitan Tennis club, where the black professional elite pursued tennis on private courts of their own. Though her rough edges may have alienated some, Althea also inspired fierce loyalty.

The disappearance of Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan on July 2, 1937 is one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of all time.

Belle Starr was a robber and a horse thief. Annie Oakley could shoot a cigarette out of your mouth at 50 paces. Calamity Jane was as tough as beef jerky on a three-day ride. The wild women of the Old West weren't prissy little frontier fillies.

The woman behind the legend and the making of the myth of General George Custer.
