There are three episodes, covering 1) Matilda and Eleanor, 2) Isabella and Margaret, and 3) Jane, Mary, and Elizabeth. The series dispels a lot of the myths built up around these amazing women and their efforts to claim their rights in a male dominated world.

If you have access to Acorn TV streaming service, look for this series!
