"A Woman of Substance" is an epic drama spanning six decades, following Emma Harte's rise from penniless Yorkshire maid in the early 1900s to powerful 1970s business magnate. Betrayed and cast out by her aristocratic lover when she becomes pregnant, Emma (Brenda Blethyn / Jessica Reynolds) vows revenge and sets out to build a global retail empire. Through love, loss, war and ruthless ambition, she amasses power and shapes her destiny - until betrayal within her own family threatens everything she has built.
