Synopsis  

Four modern 11-year-old girls ask “who are we and what will we become?” They journey to the past to explore their futures by becoming four historical American women heroes: Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Amelia Bloomer, Louisa May Alcott, and Amelia Earhart. These four women meet each other in the Afterlife, and after “catching up” with one another, dancing and singing, Amelia Bloomer eagerly suggests, “maybe we’re to relive what it meant to be 11!” Each woman travels back in time with the help of the others to relive an important moment from her 11-year-old girlhood. There are heartbreaking moments, as when Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s father asks her, “why couldn’t you have been born a boy?” or Louisa May Alcott deals with her fighting parents by writing it all down. Other episodes are hilarious and exciting as when Amelia Earhart plummets down a homemade rollercoaster! When the women gather again, they reflect on their dreams and where they journeyed after the all-important age of 11. Ultimately Heroic Women imagine what the Heroic Girlz of today might learn from them.
