Matt Roush says...
An eyewitness to history, pioneering women’s activist and all-around fascinating character, Liz Carpenter is the colorful subject of an admiring biographical portrait co-directed and produced by her daughter Christy and Peabody-winner Abby Ginzberg. Carpenter defied traditional women’s roles with trailblazing positions as President Lyndon B. Johnson’s executive assistant and Lady Bird’s press secretary. She fought to integrate women into the men’s-only National Press Club and convinced Soviet Union leader Nikita Khrushchev to allow women reporters to observe his historic speech. And that’s just for starters.
