This inspiring true story, traces the life of Henrietta Leavitt, a living “computer” who charted the night skies at the Harvard Observatory during the beginning of the 20th century. While society and her bosses contend that a woman doesn’t belong behind a telescope, Henrietta proves that hard work and determination can change the world. Her discoveries rewrote the science and history books, while she navigated family obligations, romantic entanglements and life’s everyday travails.
