Ahead Of Time is an engrossing new documentary chronicling the remarkable life of 100 year old feminist pioneer Ruth Gruber, an American journalist, author, photographer, humanitarian, and government official. A close friend of Virginia Wolff, Gruber was, in 1931 the youngest person in the world to have received a Ph.D and has advanced degrees in German Philosophy, Modern English Literature and Art History.

Then she laughs, her eyes crinkling in amusement: "They're inventing the 21st century," she says. "I'm learning a new language: Twitter, Google, things like that. They could probably put together a whole dictionary just of 21st-century words." The computer is still a tool that she's learning to use -- "At least I can make the type big enough so I can read it" -- the latest in a life that's lasted almost a century, and which is finally being given the kind of public acclaim it deserves in a documentary film. Called Ahead of Time, the film (which opens in limited release Friday, 9/10/10) by director Bob Richman follows Gruber's remarkable career as a pioneering journalist and writer from the 1920s...
