Through an array of colorful interviews from Berg’s close family and longtime fans, including “All in the Family” creator Norman Lear and Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Kempner communicates the determination and warmth that made Berg, as one 1930s poll revealed, the second-most popular woman in America (just behind Eleanor Roosevelt).

"I was told that the hair came from the chin of the ibex goat," says Kempner. "That [the goats] rubbed it into the rocks and villagers picked it up and wove it into shawls."
