If you thought Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman was one of the last tough-spirited females portrayed by Hollywood during the turn of the century, think again. Enter Songcatcher Dr. Lily Penleric, played by Golden Globe winner Janet McTeer (last seen in Tumbleweeds), whose determination and drive not only win her acceptance from the Appalachian natives, but a romance as well. Dr. Penleric is a musicologist at a prestigious university where she is passed over for another promotion simply because she is female.
