Movie Review
No other film provides such a compelling example of how a single, progressive thinker can sway the minds of so many. The movie is all about women’s rights, the right to make the choices you want, not the choices society dictates. A new college teacher, Catherine Watson tries to help her schoolgirls to keep up with the times, to get the message that women should be independent and have higher education. But get used to this idea is not easy not only for the students, because all their lives they just did what they dreamed of marriage, but also the teaching staff, for which Catherine’s ideas were totally unacceptable.
