Not a fan of Lisa’s interpretation of women’s history soapbox moments. Made it up to episode covering 1950’s before checking out. Will return when this series is over. I lived the life a of child born in the 60’s and raised by a women’s libber who chose her career over family. Not inspiring at all.
