In 1953, a time when women's roles were rigidly defined, free-spirited, novice art history professor Katherine Watson begins teaching at the prestigious all-female Wellesley College which despite its academic reputation, is an environment where success is measured by 'how well' the students marry. Encouraging these women to strive for a more enlightened future, Watson challenges the administration and inspires her students to look beyond the image of what is, and consider the possibilities of what could be contrary to popular belief.Besides butting heads with college administrators who object to progressive ideas, she also pushes the conservative students who firmly believe a woman's only role is to be a wife and mother.
While little will be missed by not watching this movie, it is entertaining from start to finish, with some good jokes and lighthearted drama.
This movie shows the determination of a teacher. I was inspired by the spirit and passion towards improving her students thought and attitude. Impossible is nothing.
