Despite her boyfriend Paul's warnings that a Boston Brahmin environment was out of her element, Katherine was thrilled at the prospect of educating some of the country's brightest young women . However, his image of Wellesley quickly faded after his first day of classes. in which it felt more like a baptism by fire. Her smug students displayed their exhaustive knowledge of the text and humiliated her in front of a supervisor. However, Katherine, determined not to give in under the pressure, deviates from the program in order to regain the upper hand. She quickly challenged the girls' idea of ​​what constituted art and exposed them to modern artists not approved by the school board. She challenged them to think for themselves and explore outside of their traditional views. This art form was unacceptable to the students at first, however, over time, Katherine penetrated the disdain of her students and gained their esteem. The notable exception was the moralistic upperclass brat Betty, who sarcastically challenged Katherine from day one, and who caused Katherine's colleague and friend Amanda to be fired after revealing it in a newspaper editorial of the school that the free-thinking professor was providing contraceptives to students. This was unacceptable according to Wellesley staff because ... middle of paper ... what his mother had told him and took his beliefs very seriously. Giselle even spoke about her parents' separation after her father returned from the war. She explained that things just weren't the same. Society was going through a huge change that affected everyone's lives. “Mona Lisa Smile” is a great reminder of what it was like to live when a woman had no voice. However, if this film were to take place on a campus today, the company would not have played a role in the film. Women and men would be equal on campus and their studies would have the same value. In today's society, it is very important for a woman to get educated and have a career. We are a feminist society in that everyone should be treated the same. However, we could all use a Katherine Watson in our lives sometimes, to remind us that women have a voice..
