I like the film "Mona Lisa's Smile" so much and choose it for the presentation and even if I cannot be successful on presenting it in class, I still think that it is very successful choice to show the roles that society waits women to fill in. The setting goes in 1960, after WW2, when women encouraged to leave the working areas to their husbands and be a good- “perfect” housewifes that obey their husbands. In the film we see that girl students prepare for the marriage life. They do not use their potentials and possibilities to be powerful and independent individuals in the future, because since they born they only dream to have a perfect house, perfect clothes, perfect children and perfect husband. When we come up to 2000s, we see a great development in women rights and their goals. There are lots of successful and powerful women around and they compete with lots of other men in their areas. However, understanding of being happy by finding a rich and successful husband rather than studying and being successful by own effort still supported by some parents. I believe that every women should independently sustain their own lives by working, rather than being husband- dependent individuals. Women should have physical barriers to work in some areas and some special times- like pregnancy, but they should be able to work even if they not. They should be able to resist on the unfairnesses and have power to complain. However, as we talked about in our lessons, women are encouraged to be silent and passive.  If they do not want to change this situation, no one can do it for them and education is the first step.
