Giving Voice to Kentucky Women

Do you know that a Woodford County schoolteacher led a fight in the 1890s to ensure that women could retain property they owned even after they married?

Or that a Glasgow woman gave many of the famed Tuskegee Airmen of World War II their first flying lessons?

Or that a Louisville insurance saleswoman made it possible for thousands of Kentuckians to live in affordable housing?

Those are just some of the stories told in the new documentary, “Dreamers & Doers: Voices of Kentucky Women.” The film’s executive producer, Eleanor Jordan of the Kentucky Commission on Women, appeared on KET’s One to One to discuss the project.

“Dreamers & Doers” premieres on KET on Monday, June 15 at 9 p.m.
