Historiaherkku suomalaisista jännistä naisista, joiden tarinan haluat kuulla. Kukkotappeluja järjestänyt viinatehtailija, poliitikkoja ohjeistanut selvänäkijä, heimosotaretkeen osallistunut sirkustaiteilija - nyt tutustutaan Suomen historian jänniin naisiin!

Suomessakin jännät naiset olivat hyväsydämisiä, pahansisuisia, auttavaisia ja itsekkäitä. He kulkivat omaa polkuaan, rikkoivat rajoja ja raivasivat tietä. He tekivät asioita, jotka eivät olleet naisille sopivia - ja tietenkin elivät poikkeuksellisen kiinnostavan elämän.
