Review ‘Makers’ celebrates some of the women who’ve made America

Indeed, this miniseries is a continuation of last year’s three-hour documentary of the same name that chronicled the rise of the modern women’s movement. And both are part of an even larger multimedia project. Launched two years ago in conjunction with PBS, “Makers” is dedicated to creating “the largest and most dynamic collection of women’s stories ever assembled.”
