Modern day women of achievement introduce the women of the past who have figured prominently in the early equality movement in America. Leading scholars and social activists such as Gloria Steinem, Anna Quindlen and Ellen Goodman reflect upon American heroines like Abigail Adams, Susan B. Anthony, Eleanor Roosevelt and others who willingly made enormous sacrifices to advance the position of women in this country, and propel the equality movement forward. This program is a companion to the American Women of Achievement Video Collection. Copyright 1996. 30 minutes.
