Though traditional chronicles have focused on the illustrious men who lived there, this British documentary looks at some of the women who lived there including Gertrude Stein and her lover Alice B.

Many of their stories are told with archival film clips coupled with modern interviews. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
