    I watched this a while back and was SO inspired my her boldness and brilliance. It saddened me near the end when they spoke of how she didn’t want people to see her because of the way she looked. Even someone so intellectual was not immune to the tremendous pressure placed upon woman by the media. I hope she passed knowing she was greatly appreciated! ALSO, I found you from listening to Grace Collin’s podcast. Love when you com on the show.

    • Thank you for coming to the blog. I love being on Grace’s podcast! We have so much fun, and she’s so knowledgeable and such great company. I love listening to her podcasts with others too. The end of the documentary was so sad. I do think some beautiful men get some of this treatment (for example, people have been merciless about Robert Redford’s aging), but not to nearly the same extent. She seemed so philosophical about her life–I hope that came to her aid, as you say, near the end, when the tributes to her scientific work finally began.
