Watch it. It gave me a whole new insight.
Back then, this was expected. This was all women were supposedly good for.
In this generation, it's now acceptable to be both a mother, wife, and an inspiration.
Exhibit A: Sarah Pallin
Calm down. I'm not going all politics on you. Just saying, she is a mother, and an inspiration to a lot of people.
IMDB says this about the movie:
"Katherine Ann Watson (Julia Roberts) has accepted a position teaching art history at the prestigious Wellesley College. Watson is a very modern woman, particularly for the 1950s, and has a passion not only for art, but for her students. For the most part, the students all seem to be biding their time, waiting to find the right man to marry. The students are all very bright and Watson feels they are not reaching their potential. Altough a strong bond is formed between teacher and student, Watson's views are incompatible with the dominant culture of the college."
It inspired me. To the max.
Don't worry, I won't go all anti-motherhood on anyone.
Just a new view.
