The title of the film [Mona Lisa's Smile] is wonderful - she is smiling, is she happy? If she looks happy, does that mean she is really happy?

Catherine, who wants to make educational reforms in the university, is not a kind of motivating obsession - among professional women and traditional women, traditional roles mean depraved, ignorant, and old-fashioned, while professional women and higher education can transform This rationality and wisdom continue! She encouraged Joan to balance her marriage and studies, and filled out the Yale Law School application for her, but Joan chose to accompany her husband to another city. Just when Catherine hated the iron and was disappointed with Joan, Joan said: "Family is not something that can be sacrificed for me. I want to be by my husband and children. I clearly understand my choice. This will not make me become." more stupid. Borrowing Joan, the director pointed out women's "right to choose freely". Even if Catherine still believes that "to change for others is to be indifferent to oneself", they are all right, and the downward freedom is also freedom.

    "Not every relationship is meant for marriage." "My teacher, Katherine Watson, lived by her own definition, and would not compromise that. Not even for Wellesley. I dedicate this, my last editorial, to an extraordinary woman who lived by example and compelled us all to see the world through new eyes. By the time you read this, she'll be sailing to Europe, where I know she'll find new walls to break down and new ideas to replace them with. I've heard her called a quitter for leaving, an aimless wanderer. But not all who wander are aimless. Especially not those who seek truth beyond tradition; beyond definition; beyond the image. We'll never forget you.”
