She's Wearing a Dead Bird on Her Head!

It's 1896 and Harriet Hemenway and her cousin Minna Hall live in Boston where they are prominent members of society. They are appalled by the latest rage in ladies hats that are decorated with dead birds. Despite the fact that women do not even have the right to vote, Harriet, Minna, and their friends gather together to form the Audubon Society. This is the true story of how two cousins worked for social progress, women's rights, and wildlife preservation.
