About the film
In the 1950s, Ruth enters Harvard Law School, where women are a rare sight among the students. Despite excelling academically and supporting her family alongside her husband Martin, she soon discovers that graduating from one of the country’s most prestigious law schools does not guarantee her a place in the legal profession. Law firms simply refuse to hire her because she is a woman. Rather than accept a system built on inequality, Ruth begins looking for a way to challenge it from within. When she takes on a seemingly ordinary tax case involving a man denied a deduction because of his marital status, she recognizes an opportunity to question laws that discriminate on the basis of sex. With Martin’s support and the help of the American Civil Liberties Union, Ruth takes the case to court, facing an establishment that has little reason to believe a woman can change the law. Her fight becomes about far more than one man’s rights — it becomes a challenge to the legal foundations of gender discrimination.
