I'm a big fan of many of the women in this series; however, it's all fluff. Jane Goodall is one of the reasons I became a teacher, but this just idolizes her and doesn't touch on any of the negative aspects of her career or negative effects she had on science, local communities, and the animals themselves. It looks like it's all that way. I'm all for celebrating women for their accomplishments, but a true documentary series needs to be unbiased. It all plays out like a Lifetime Christmas drama. I'm excited about the Goldie Hawn portion. She is remarkable and most likely the only person on this series without controversy or things they need to cover up. Hillary is a bit obtuse as to how she comes off. She's very unlikeable. I realize she's trying to make a contribution, but this is as boring as an awards banquet and only flatters the subject with things we already know. This series offers no new information and puts the subjects on pedestals. I guess it might be something to watch with very young young children, or maybe a primary school classroom, it I was expecting something more. Sadly, this is pretty much something you can have running in the background while doing something else. If you want better representation of these women, pick up their biographies. This show is bland and self-serving. Now, if she got someone like Michael Moore involved, that might correct what's wrong with this show.
