Air Date: 2022-12-04
The women of the world meet in Florence to show each other art and culture. They are blown away by a very early masterpiece by Michelangelo, revel in the details of a dedicated bag maker, and overcome their reluctance to eat boiled Tripe at a food market in the middle of the city.
2. Madrid: Colorful Capes and the Spanish Krøyer
Air Date: 2022-12-04
Madrid is in many ways an overlooked metropolis in Europe, according to the women of the world. They will try to change that with their visit to the Spanish capital, where they experience flamenco dancing up close, swing the scissors at a cape tailor, and avoid the city's largest museums in order instead to get acquainted with the painter Joaquin Sorolla, Spain's answer to the Danish Skagen painter, Krøyer.
3. Paris: Colorful Fireworks and Greasy Frog Legs
Air Date: 2022-12-12
The women of the world are particularly well-versed in Paris. They skip all the well-known tourist attractions and instead find their way to a relatively unknown museum, a brand new fashion gallery, and some completely unique, old arcades to experience art and culture in Paris.
4. Edinburgh: Designer Kilts and Vibrant City Culture
Air Date: 2022-12-12
The football song 'Re-Sepp-Ten' set to bagpipe music, a painting of a skating priest and a contemporary version of the classic tartan kilt are among the experiences when the women of the world head to Scotland to introduce each other to art and culture in Edinburgh.

3. Vienna: Penis Envy and World Art

1. Funen: Knitting Is My Childhood Trauma!
Air Date: 2024-10-13
The women of the world are on Funen. Merete is ripped up in a childhood trauma when they meet the nationally known knitwear designer behind PetiteKnit. They experience idyll ready to cry about, but disagree on what rural idyll should actually look like. They experience how female artists were kept out of the Funen painters. And then they get to taste a royal home brew that really breaks through.
2. West Coast: Are Waders Now Fashion?
Air Date: 2024-10-13
The women of the world are on the West Coast. They are out of their "new-yorker outfits" and in a pair of waders, and then they are on the hunt for oysters. But Lotte can't help but lick the fat oysters, even though it's algae season. They meet the past as war children in the bunker museum at Blåvand, and discuss what to do about the horrific bunkers today. They experience architecture that everyone must see, and then they go to idyllic Fanø, where they find priceless treasures in the second-hand shop.
3. East Jutland: Medina is the Fourth Woman of the World!
Air Date: 2024-10-13
The women of the world are in East Jutland. They meet Medina and experience the unifying properties of culture at SMUKfest - where they also get weak in the knees. They are locked behind bars and experience the prison history through 150 years. They are overwhelmed by Vejle's waterfront and Olafur Eliasson's art, and then we get to establish whether royal porcelain dinnerware is dishwasher safe.
4. Zealand: Vulgar Art is Good Art!
Air Date: 2024-10-13
The women of the world are on Zealand. We get even closer to Lotte when the ladies experience her uncle's magnificent and erotic Tegner statues. Of course, we'll also join the ladies on their home turf at fashion week and around Copenhagen's canals. Bente gives a tour of Liselund on Møn, where she spent much of her childhood, and Merete shows off the magnificent expanses in Fårevejle.
