Join us as we explore history through the eyes of sisterhood. History often tells us that behind every great man is a strong woman. We see things a little differently. We think beside every strong woman is another strong woman, supporting her, influencing her, challenging her, hating or loving her. ​ We look into all of the rivalries, collaborations, frenemies and friendships that make up sisterhood. We hope you enjoy.
