Part 2: In the second part, Alice finds national fame and one of the most polarizing personalities through a television appearance with anti-feminist Esther Vilar. Your opponents will pull out all the stops to humiliate and destroy you. She has to let herself be insulted as an ugly witch, endure scorn, ridicule and hatred. But she goes on, celebrates success as a feminist bestselling author and eventually founds the magazine "Emma", in which she can combine activism and journalism. The film also tells that her relationship with Bruno ended in failure and that Alice made numerous enemies in the new German women's movement.
