Hear the stories of the beautiful, the bold, and the bad women who helped create the American dream.
We stand in the shadow of the Wentworth Mansion, the largest-standing palace in the city. We ask the question, "who were the most important women that lived on this street?"
The mother of old Charles Town, the mother of America, and the mother of modern Charleston: hear the stories of the Strong Women of the South.
