Nowadays, women lifestyle have got
less difficult than it was before: they don´t have to stay at home doing the
housework all day, they can work as whatever they want and even participate in
social and political life. Women have been being manipulated by society for
many ages, from what they have supposed to be to how they were supposed to
manner. Even though this way of thinking has changed at present (or most of it),
was women life as easy as it appear just a few years ago?
In the 50’s,
women’s life appeared to be perfect: perfect studies, perfect husband, perfect
house, perfect family. However, perfection wasn´t as easy to get, because their
personal lives were on game. They have to decide between get the perfect family
or continue studying to get a good job (because they couldn’t do both). This lifestyle
that women have carried thought this times can be seen on the actual movie “Mona
Lisa smile”, in which it´s told the story of a woman that wanted to go against
the ideology of that moment and make a real change in women life. This film
shows how hard was women’s life, how they had to give up everything to could
marry and start a family and how their own minds were so closed. Only one of
them (the main character) opened her mind to new ideas, new points of view, to
a new lifestyle cut off from the housewife life. In my opinion, this movie
helps you to understand how different and yet so equal was and is women’s life
and that the only wayto make change is thinking outside the box.
