Trama
USA, 1953: tempi di guerra fredda, maccartismo e integrazione razziale. Tutto molto lontano dal Wellesley College, prestigiosa scuola femminile, dove le materie sono un optional rispetto all'insegnamento base, principio fondamentale per le allieve: lo scopo primo nella vita di una donna resta ancora il matrimonio. È in questa realtà che arriva la nuova insegnante di storia dell'arte Katherine Watson: 36 anni, fiera “zitella” di estrazione operaia, convinta di poter aprire le menti delle sue represse, ma non sempre ottuse, aristocratiche allieve. Com'è prevedibile la donna si scontra contro il corpo insegnanti conservatore e con la diffidenza delle ragazze, ma non si arrende e spiegando come “leggere” Leonardo e Van Gogh, introducendo Pollock e facendosi coinvolgere anche nelle beghe amorose, riesce finalmente ad abbattere il muro di ostilità posto fra lei e le alunne.
