1953
America was a time ripe for change for women and when Katherine
Ann Willis (Julia Roberts) arrives to teach Art History
at Wellesley College, she finds the institution drowning
in outdated mores. While the nation struggles with the fears
that accompany a shifting political culture, the powers
that be at Wellesley seem to want to re-corset the women
who had been the backbone of the World War II workforce
just a few years earlier. A passionate educator, Katherine
takes on the establishment and in doing so, deeply affects
her students who in turn lead her to alter the course of
her life forever.
