The film tells the story of Liz Carpenter, a trailblazing Texan who helped shape some of the most vivid moments and movements of the 20th Century. Journalist, White House official, political activist, and feminist leader: Liz was often front and center where history was unfolding leaving her own indelible mark on events and people. The film shows how her expansive personality, political know-how, and legendary wit gave her an outsized impact on historical events -- from the JFK assassination to the launch of Great Society programs to leadership roles in the National Women's Political Caucus, the National Women’s Conference in Houston in 1977, and the fight for the Equal Rights Amendment.
