Timeblazers Jen and Sam travel back in time to meet some key women who played important roles in history.

Next they travel to England in 1555 to meet Elizabeth I, who took on the Spanish Armada and won. Then in the early 1800s they meet Mary Shelley, who, at age eighteen, wrote the famous book "Frankenstein."
