The movie reflects the women conditions at the time that still hold the tradition controlled by patriarchal where gender roles dictated that men were the head of the household and the sole provider, while women were expected to be the homemaker who cared for the family. Being a mother and a wife were viewed as women’s most critical callings. Katherine made the students realize that they had rights to show up their capability in public as men had.
