SYNOPSIS:

Radicals written by Nancy Ostertag & Vanessa Ruane

Radicals is the story of two young women coming of age during a pivotal time in America. We meet Lizzie and Sarah four years before the Civil War. New technologies revolutionize daily life. A looming election consumes Washington's attention. Some argue the very existence of the Republic is at stake.

One of America’s first erotic photographers, Lizzie Shaw, moves to Washington and forms an unlikely friendship with Sarah Brown, a pioneer in women’s reproductive health. They each manage to keep their groundbreaking businesses through the tumult of the Civil War. After the war, Lizzie and Sarah unite to stop anti-obscenity crusader Anthony Comstock, who threatens to shatter everything they’ve built.
