SYNOPSIS

JUMP BACK TO TOP

"A Woman of Substance follows Emma over six decades, from the 1900s (when she is played by Jessica Reynolds) to the 1970s (when she is played by Brenda Blethyn). The series finds Emma in 1911, an impoverished ambitious maid in Yorkshire, England, who goes on a dizzying journey to become the world's richest woman, gazing down from a sprawling luxury New York penthouse. A rags-to-riches tale of women through the 20th century, Emma defies the expectations of her society, fearlessly challenging the roles she's given, smashing glass ceilings, and never, ever deviating from her masterplan: Get to the top. Whatever it takes."
