In the 1950s, the social status of American women seemed to have improved significantly, but the feudal ideology in the upper class was still very serious. In a famous women's university such as Wesleyan, students don't pay much attention to learning and education. The purpose of their schooling is to find a good husband. In an editorial, Bedi talked about women's responsibilities and obligations to play the role of women in the family. Having children in her continuation of traditional roles, Catherine subverts the roles women are destined to play in traditional families. She always thought that only ancient China had such regulations for women. It turns out that prejudice knows no borders. The heroine pursues freedom and independence and breaks through traditions. She is trying to change the constraints that this academy places on women. At the end, Betty's husband cheats. Betty dares to break through the world and is not afraid of the world. For a moment I felt her soul was free. At the end of the film, when Catherine left for Europe, all the students rode bicycles to chase the car to say goodbye to her. Betty was the one who had been killing the heroine, and in the end was the one who was most grateful to the heroine and had the deepest affection for the heroine. I admire those people who go beyond tradition and pursue the truth. They are doing things that others dare not do, giving people the most shocking feeling.
