UNLADYLIKE2020 is a multimedia series that highlights diverse and little-known American heroines from the early years of feminism. The series consists of 26 animated documentary films, each 10-12 minutes long, featuring women who broke barriers in male-dominated fields 100 years ago. These films include rare archival imagery, original artwork, and interviews with historians and contemporary women leaders. The series aims to present history in a new way and inspire audiences with stories of unconventional women.

The primary objectives are to inspire, engage, and educate audiences about underrepresented narratives in women's history.​ By highlighting the accomplishments of women, particularly women of color, who made significant contributions to America over a century ago, the project targets to reverse information gaps in American history regarding women's contributions. Additionally, it seeks to foster intergenerational dialogue about women's empowerment and societal progress.

The content is designed to encourage critical thinking about sexism, racism, and societal expectations, both in the past and present. By doing so, it works toward fostering a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by these pioneering women and the progress that has been made, while also highlighting areas where further advancement is needed.
