How many women’s stories are untold, eclipsed by the choices of men who wrote the history books? Watch the captivating buried story of Martha Matilda Harper, a 19th century servant girl who created modern retail franchising and a worldwide network of 500 shops, all while empowering poor women whose background she could understand. Archival footage documents Harper's saga and the influencers surrounding her life - and Sarasota and Manatee community leaders help provide the voice overs! Come away with a sense of awe over Harper's accomplishments, insight into the determined effort it took to uncover this story, and fury over how women like Harper can be ignored by history.

What we love (from a student screener): She was supported by different prominent figures who were also fighting to ensure rights for women including Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Stanton, Fredrick Douglass, and many others. (Student reviewer Ilakiza Jackson, 16)
