Little House on the Prairie personified a simple, pioneering and wholesome lifestyle, bringing love and family into our living rooms. It is still loved around the world long after the series ended. But what of the real people who created and starred in the show? Karen Grassle had struggled with building her acting career but was finding success in New York. She never imagined herself on t.v. until she was offered the role of Ma. How did her own struggles impact her in those years and how did she fight to be recognized as a costar- including the pay that should go along with it? Join us as we talk about her father's alcoholism (and her own) her passion for acting and a behind the scenes look at the iconic Little House on the Prairie. All these experiences led to a deep passion for women's rights.
