Ninth Street Women Season 1

Based on Mary Gabriel’s 2018 book. Set amid the most turbulent social and political period of modern times, “Ninth Street Women” is the impassioned, wild, sometimes tragic, always exhilarating chronicle of five women, Lee Krasner, Elaine de Kooning, Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell and Helen Frankenthaler, who dared to enter the male-dominated world of twentieth-century abstract painting — not as muses but as artists. These women changed American art and society, tearing up the prevailing social code and replacing it with a doctrine of liberation.
