These women did everything in their power.

And then, obviously, when her body was found and when Crippen was arrested, they testified at the trial, they testified at the inquest, they raised money for Bell's funeral, they paid for her funeral, and they actually even got inheritance law changed in this country.

We know this is not something she would do.

Yeah, I think she's quite a fascinating character.

I hate using this term, she was a woman before her time, but she really was a woman before her time.

I do think that if she were alive today, she'd be an influencer.

She's got this spirit in her, which is just amazing.

I mean, she's born in Brooklyn in a tenement building.

Her family are very poor.

They're immigrants, German and Polish immigrants and Russian.
