Synopsis

At the turn of the twentieth century, four women’s lives intersect in a society that is transitioning from the predictable and rigid expectations of the Victorian age to the volatile and exciting world of the Progressive Era. Set in the mansions, brownstones, and tenements of New York City, with vistas to Alva Vanderbilt’s home in Newport and an eventful trip to Paris, The New Woman captures a colorful array of notable people and places at this moment of historical inflection. Along the way we meet the women of the Colony Club and the young women of the Garment Union who are striking for better conditions in the factories. Bernadine, Flora, Dore, and Mae each represent their class, upbringing, and education. Through courage and independence, each manages to navigate the complexities of a turbulent time for women and society as a whole.
