In her documentary, Sharon Shattucks shows through the anecdotes of her interview partners that discrimination against women can still be observed in science, although many assume that fixed role models in these professional fields are long out of date. In the academic world, too, women have to fight for equality and respect, not only with regard to their professional achievements, but also because of their fundamental human rights.
