A divorced mother anxious to have a meaningful career, Virginia Johnson is ahead of her time on many fronts. Smart, forthright, resourceful, and sexually uninhibited, she refuses to adhere to the norms that her society places on women. She is also compassionate and attuned to her emotions and those of others, which makes her the perfect counterpart for the repressed and socially awkward Dr. Masters. They click instantly and she becomes as dedicated to the study of human sexual response as he is. But her devotion to her work and to Dr. Masters personally comes at a price, especially where her children are concerned.
