...and I also just joking halve to say, from a strength standpoint Jean Marsh, the actress
who played that character (Sara Kingdom) ended up writing the miniseries "Upstairs, Downstairs"
which was the "Downton Abbey" of your parent's generation.
Huge PBS show about the maids and the rich people living in a house.
So literally it was a copy -- or the predecessor I should say -- of "Downton Abbey."
So she moved her career, using this acting career into a writing career where she could
write the kind of representations she felt that the world needed.
So that is pretty cool.
Liz Shaw came up in the John Pertwee era, The third Doctor Who and she was a scientist
so she was the equal to any of the men she worked with and sometimes she was smarter
than they were, because she had a Ph.D. and she could do science and these guys sometimes
weren't -- sometimes just military dudes.
So Liz Shaw is a pretty good example of a strong woman we've met along the way.
