Set against the backdrop of a society that was not always accepting, this documentary reveals the vibrant and robust nature of alternative sexualities 90 years ago. Audiences will be astonished to discover the depth of diversity that existed in the lives of these influential women.

Their lesbian and bisexual proclivities, however, played a crucial role in shaping the narrative of sexual and social freedom for women, both in their careers and personal lives.
