The story of how a group of determined, brilliant women used the power of the collective and the tools of science to inspire ongoing radical change. It shows that real power is collective power and that speaking up and allying yourself with likeminded others is one of the key pathways to change. This is a triumphant story - real progress has been made - and yet the problems persist. Kate Zernike tells us why.
