At the dawn of Disney's golden age, when Mickey Mouse was but a twinkle in Ub Iwerks' eye, there was a woman who played a pivotal yet largely uncredited role in his creation. Lillian Bounds, Iwerks' wife, not only inspired the design of Minnie Mouse but also contributed her artistic talents to early Disney shorts, discreetly remaining behind the scenes.

In the heart of the Walt Disney Studios, a group of pioneering women, known as the Inkwell Sisters, broke through gender barriers and became the unsung heroes of traditional animation.
