This film follows the late Dr. Marian Diamond, one of the founders of modern neuroscience, over a five-year period and highlights her scientific accomplishments. Her groundbreaking work was all the more remarkable because it began during an era when so few women entered science at all. Shouted at from the back of the conference hall by noteworthy male academics as she presented her research, and disparaged in the scientific journals of a more conservative era, Dr. Diamond simply did the work and followed where her curiosity led her.
