SynopsisNew England has nurtured countless women who shook off the expectations of their gender to forge their own destinies. Narragansett tribal historian Princess Red Wing served as a delegate to the United Nations and founded the Tomaquag Museum in Exeter, Rhode Island. Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum attests to the astute artistic vision of its namesake founder, while Hartford's Harriet Beecher Stowe House recalls the author whom Abraham Lincoln called "the little lady who made this big war." The genteel, tranquil carriage roads of Acadia National Park celebrate the visionary landscape design of Beatrix Farrand, the only woman among the founding members of the American Society of Landscape Architects. These women didn't set out to be role models, but that's what they became.
