In 1953, at Wesleyan Women’s College in Massachusetts, USA, known as the "Ivy Without Men", a new art history teacher named Catherine Watson was introduced. She was a beautiful and mature woman who had just graduated from UCLA University. , Accepted the idea of ​​liberal reform in the university, and determined to become an outstanding professor.

Although the status of women in the United States in the 1950s was gradually valued, the feudal ideology in the upper class was still very serious. In Wesley, a famous women's university, most of the students have a good family background and have received excellent education since childhood. However, the college's education for students is not to teach them how to acquire the subject knowledge they are interested in, nor does it attach importance to psychological education, but to define the success of students as future marriages. The purpose of their learning is to marry a good husband. Several very active girls, represented by Betty, Joan and Livi, like to show off in class, and even challenge their teachers in various ways in class. Catherine did not follow the school's consistent teaching practices and styles like other teachers. She not only challenged some school practices and rules, but also encouraged students to explore their own interests and boldly practice their ideas.

In the end, she won the respect and love of the students with her youthful and straightforward style, rich knowledge of art history, and fun and enthusiastic teaching style, and she was called the "Mona Lisa" by the female students.

The hostess is so beautiful! Strong Amway!

I watched the national version of the public screening. It should be said that I have seen the video disc once, but I hurriedly did not mark it, and I just happened to see the calendar (Tao Piao Piao) today, which is also a coincidence for myself. . A good movie is often watched to discover better and more content and revealing plots and lines anytime, anywhere.
