In this documentary, we meet some of the courageous women who stood on the barricades, fighting for the right to vote and for the equal worth of women. The documentary introduces us to, among others, the real-life inspiration for "Fröken Friman"—Anna Whitlock, who campaigned for women’s suffrage—as well as the physician Karolina Widerström, who fought against prostitution, and Frigga Carlberg, who established orphanages for children born out of wedlock. The popular TV series *Fröken Frimans krig* ("Miss Friman’s War") served as the impetus for presenter Kattis Ahlström to travel across the country to uncover and share the true stories of these women.
