A TV documentary premiering tonight tells a series of stories that add up to what’s been described as a “peaceful invasion” by women into positions of power and influence.

The project, “The Women’s List,” comes from director and producer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders and follows his series that includes “The Black List” and “The Latino List.”

“The Women’s List” debuts tonight, Friday, Sept. 25, 2015, on PBS as part of the “American Masters” series. To get the inside story — and to find out who made the list — please click here to read our report from TVWeek Open Mic writer Hillary Atkin.
