Lifetime Presents Variety’s Power of Women: Frontline Heroes will celebrate the courageous women on the frontlines of the pandemic – including doctors, nurses, teachers, researchers, among others – who are putting themselves at risk to make a difference and working towards finding a solution in this crisis.
