Synopsis

Sandra, Liz, and Corinne are three minority women who met during their doctoral studies in the late 1990's and learned that each have individual accounts of how far they have come since the passage of the Civil Rights Act. Sandra, born in the 1940's, Liz born in the 1950's, and Corinne born in the 1960's overcome barriers and reminisce about their journey. Their memories of their personal and professional lives coincide with major events in the history of the United States. These women share their trials, successes, and concerns while achieving the goal of higher education and acceptance. They learn from their experiences and strive to add value to their life and their surroundings. In recounting their individual and collective paths, they discover that being a woman during these exciting times are noteworthy. As the United States changes through wars, hard times, and good times, two things remain... memories and knowledge.
