A full-length historical drama based on the true story of Grace Roe, an early-twentieth-century English women's suffrage activist who organized a bodyguard of women trained in martial arts to protect the movement's leaders.

A suite of monologues for 7 women. A mysterious Presenter introduces the stories of six historical women: * Laura Fair killed her married lover in San Francisco in 1870. * Margaret Hossack killed her abusive husband in Warren County, Iowa, in 1900. * Celia Bryan killed her father, who was also her owner, in Jacksonville in 1848. * Jane Toppan killed at least eleven patients before she was caught in 1901. * Belle Gunness killed upwards of thirteen people in Indiana between 1903 and 1908. * And of course, in Fall River, Massachusetts, in 1892, Lizzie Borden took an axe...The Presenter gives each of them a score based on her own rather curious criteria, revealing, in the end, why it is that their stories fascinate her so.
