Forgotten Women is a brand-new series, which will uncover the lost histories of the women who, over thousands of years, have refused to accept the hand they were dealt, and have changed the course of our futures forever. Forgotten Women: The Leaders shines a light on the rebellious women who defied the odds and the opposition to make their mark on the world, such as the 16th-century Irish pirate queen Grace O'Malley; transgender rights pioneer Sylvia Rivera, or Agent 355-the unknown spy who played a pivotal role in the American Revolution.
