Host Cynthia Bemis Abrams considers the backstory of the creation of Cagney and Lacey to be essential feminist knowledge. She celebrates the creative process and patience that delivered the first ever women's Buddy/Cop show. Cynthia explains the roles of Barney Rosenzweig, Barbara Avedon and Barbara Corday and how they nearly didn't break through a television glass ceiling and change television.
