Soap operas are the foundation of American television storytelling.&#13;
&#13;
From early radio days in the 1930s to the invention of TV to streaming, soaps have endured by telling intergenerational family stories.&#13;
&#13;
Daytime dramas are an important part of American television history and popular culture. It’s been said that television is socially ahead of movies. Soap operas take that social consciousness a step further. Rape, abortion, AIDS, LGBTQ+ storylines – before primetime or even mainstream America was ready.   &#13;
&#13;
But soaps have been written off as low-brow drivel for women. For decades, soaps routinely pushed serious social issues the general public didn’t even know about because they weren’t paying attention to them. &#13;
&#13;
Take this journey to learn the history of soaps, the innovative creators who pushed social impact and how the genre was the moneymaker for networks for decades.&#13;
&#13;
This is television's unique immersive storytelling.
