A clever blend of fiction and history brings Australia's past to life in this time-travelling adventure series that celebrates the courage and contribution of some of the world's most inspiring pioneering women!  

London! When Simone invites Carly and Dora to stay with her parents in England on holiday, they're looking forward to an adventure - but they're not expecting to go back to the past, let alone face discrimination, disease and danger! Thrust back into London of over a hundred years ago, when women were not allowed to have real careers, they meet one woman who is about to change it all: Florence Nightingale. Through war and peace, Carly and her friends learn that courage sometimes means owning up to your mistakes.
