Kathryn Hatam "Even before it introduces its rich visuals and meaningful insights, this film boasts an amazing star-studded cast of women. Set against the backdrop of the early 1950s, Wellesley College is a conservative institution training women for the educational achievement of being wives and mothers by their Junior year. Through the critical examination of classic and modern art, Professor Katherine Watson (Julia Roberts) urges her students to critically examine many of the issues at the forefront of Feminism's Second Wave: the dualism of society's expectations of women vs. men, the systems, both external and self-imposed, that confine society's expectations, and what it means to achieve our full potential as a woman." |
