This film captures the energy of the time when people were ardently seeking solutions to the ills that faced society. The film covers the context of the time in which she wrote her novels. She is a visionary that has hits and misses. It was really not easy for a woman of that time to step out in the public eye to have a thousand tomatoes thrown at her (figuratively) for speaking her mind. See the PBS Documentary called "The Warning" with regards to her most famous student, Alan Greenspan. Her theories are as controversial today as they were a half century ago. Even today, there are scholarships given to students who will read her books and submit essays on them. She has remained relevant even to this day due to her ardent followers.
