I'd love to see a movie series giving us a view into the lives of undersung of the past, like Caroline Herschel, Henrietta Swan Leavitt, Celilia Payne-Gopaschkin, and many others. All I've ever seen is brief narratives of some.

Newton said he saw further than others because he stood on the shoulders of giants (tho I've read he was being sarcastic.) But it's true for all scientists, and many of those shoulders belonged to women, most we never have heard much about.
