Women in the 1950s were not meant to have very high education and to basically end up being the perfect housewife who took care of her family and her husband most of all. It also was a time of conformity and not to have people stand out. There were a lot of rules to follow too and things were strict for women and even for men in society. People had to be poised and smart. We see some of the strict rules when Julia Roberts character first comes to the school. The lady tells her about how she is not allowed male visitors or to have even a hot plate. They are strict rules and also we see conformity and strict rules at the very beginning when all the teachers are dressed the same and when they girls enter they are conservative and poised and all look the same.

Good job Vivian, the blog was good. You were right when you said that women of the 1950's had to be poised and well behaved. The 1950's were all about family values and the perfect house wife. Keep up the good work!
