Hosted by Ruth Nye, the cast of the first episode of the weekly series included vocalist Paula Langlands, soprano Madge Stephens, and pianists Joy Mitchell and Wendy Pomroy.[1] As the title suggests, the main focus of the series was female performers.

Reception
editReviewing the first episode, The Age considered the series to be "a big disappointment". The writer for the newspaper said that Wendy Pomroy's piano item was entertaining, but that "Elsewhere was chaos for a channel which has a record for the presentation of above-average variety of the more dignified type"[2] and stated the second episode showed no improvement.
