Alissa Simon Variety It might be a while before we instinctively picture a scientist as a woman. Still, this attractive, solidly-made documentary helps lead the way. Jun 17, 2020 Full Review Alexandra MacAaron Women's Voices for Change Finely crafted, beautifully filmed, thoroughly engaging. But, it's a sobering film. It would be downright depressing if each of our heroines hadn't found her own way to overcome the nearly insurmountable obstacles she faced solely on the basis of sex. Rated: 9/10 Jun 1, 2021 Full Review Christopher Llewellyn Reed Hammer to Nail By the end of the movie, we are all forced to confront our own inner prejudices and to accept that the only way forward towards equality is through transparency and data.

Charles S Really great story of women using science to create the MIT report proving that they were under utilized and compensated, and also research showing that the sort of views that cause that sort of bias are fairly mentally rigid to change. I'm not sure if i misunderstood the take away from most of the rest of the doc, or if it was actually just sort of pessimistic without showing the clear paths forward. At the end of the day woman, man or whatever category you put yourself in there are only so many resources to go around, if you want to accomplish more at times you will need to fight for the opportunity as these women did. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review Rosana B Um documentário super dolorido de assistir, claro que sei os desafios que as mulheres enfrentam em um mundo dominado por homens e extremamente sexistas, entretanto nem de longe eu poderia imaginar o tanto de humilhações, maldades todo horror que elas sofreram dentro da ciência e que muitas ainda sofrem em outras áreas... Um Documentário denúncia necessário, e um pouco de justiça pelas mulheres que sofreram, nojo desse David Marchant, sofreu um pena minina, mas muito representativa, demissão e perda da homenagem no Marchant Glacier renomeado de Matataua Glacier que significa "uma escoteira antes das tropas"...
