"Today, more and more young women are contemplating careers in science, medicine, engineering, and related fields. In this film, you will meet six women who have chosen such careers. In their own words they discuss how and why they each became involved in their particular discipline, the challenges it has posed, and the rewards it offers. These fascinating interviews, combined with film sequences showing them at work, help explore such questions as how they became interested in science, the special traits and education a career in science requires, the benefits of scientific training, and their advice for young women based on their own experiences." - Summary from the teaching guide.
