Leading Ladies (S02E04)

Three prominent American heiresses made their mark in England, significantly influencing fashion, interior design, and even Parliament. Elizabeth McGovern delves into the lives of Nancy Astor, Nancy Lancaster, and Pauline de Rothschild, the real women behind the acclaimed series "Downton Abbey." Each arrived from across the Atlantic with distinct motivations and embarked on unique journeys to prominence. However, they were united by a common trait: a fierce determination to assert themselves and make their voices heard, which they undeniably did.
