DESCRIPTION:For nearly 50 years\, chemical engineer and inventor Mária Tel
 kes applied her prodigious intellect to harnessing the power of the sun. S
 he designed and built the world’s first successfully solar-heated modern
  residence and identified a promising new chemical that\, for the first ti
 me\, could store solar heat like a battery. And yet\, along the way\, she 
 was undercut and thwarted by her boss and colleagues — all men — at MI
 T.\n\nDespite these obstacles\, Telkes persevered and\, upon her death in 
 1995\, held more than 20 patents. She is now recognized as a visionary pio
 neer in the field of sustainable energy. An unexpected and largely forgott
 en heroine\, Telkes was remarkable in her vision and tenacity — a scient
 ist and a woman in every way ahead of her time. Her research and innovatio
 ns from the 1930s through the ‘70s continue to shape how we power our li
 ves today\n\nAFTER the documentary - we can have a brief discussion sessio
