All her life she had wanted
to teach at Wellesley College.

:00:30

So when a position opened
in the Art History department...

:00:33

... she pursued it single-mindedly
until she was hired.

:00:42

It was whispered
that Katherine Watson...

:00:45

... a first-year teacher
from Oakland State...

:00:47

... made up in brains
what she lacked in pedigree.

:01:00

Which was why this bohemian
from California...

:01:03

... was on her way to the most
conservative college in the nation.

:01:07

- Excuse me, please.
- Oh, sorry.

:01:11

Excuse me.

:01:17

Excuse me. The bus?

:01:19

- Keep walking, ma'am.
- Thank you.

:01:21

But Katherine Watson didn't come
to Wellesley to fit in.

:01:25

She came to Wellesley because
she wanted to make a difference.

:01:29

- Violet.
- My favorite Italian professor.

:01:33

- Nice summer?
- Terrific, thanks.

:01:35

- Who's that over there?
- Where?

:01:37

Oh, Katherine Watson. New teacher.
Art History. I'm dying to meet her.
