At Wellesley College in 1953, the all-female student population may constitute the smartest and the best, but they're still measured by how well they marry. In comes professor Katherine Watson (Julia Roberts) to challenge the status quo, which raises the ire of many administrators, some of the teachers and even a few of the students she dares to inspire. Co-stars Kirsten Dunst, Julia Stiles, Marcia Gay Harden and Maggie Gyllenhaal.
