Three Women: The Treacherous, The Bold and the Brilliant

Meet three diverse but equally unique women:

Peggy Shippen, the young, beautiful wife of Benedict Arnold who orchestrated the betrayal of America and feigned madness in the process; Nellie Bly, the daring and talented reporter who gave voice to the voiceless by exposing the horrors in an insane asylum among other scandals; and Marie Curie, renowned physicist and chemist who was the first woman to win a Nobel prize and the only woman to win it in two fields. She pioneered research in radioactivity in the unwelcoming male-dominated scientific world. Enjoy the unforgettable stories of these three dramatically different but truly fascinating women.
