Amelia Earhart and her secret plans when she set out to circumnavigate the globe … Beverly Woron who just needed to get away from 1970s LA a few days but never came back .… Anne Morrow Lindbergh whose dim life was absolutely nothing like the newspapers painted …. Sappho and the birth of lyrical verse .... and so many more were reaching the world to change the way we view feminine heroines and hear women's voices.
