BBB - Mona Lisa Smile


Hi All, After an unintentional hiatus, the Babes Beyond Borders Film series is back in action!! This Friday March 6th at 3pm we will be showing Mona Lisa Smile, starring Julia Roberts, Kirsten Dunst, Julia Stiles, and Maggie Gyllenhall.


This film tells the tale of a young university professor who discovers that nearly all of her female students are only in university to find a husband - and when they do, they drop out. She struggles to convince her students that they should be able to pursue careers and lives of their own, not simply define themselves by what their husbands do.


Come out on Friday to see how the rest of the film unfolds - it's a good one!!! Some great discussion will follow afterwards for sure, therefore we shall reconvene at the wave immediately after the film, around 5 pm!!! Hope to see you all there!


ps - There will be a meeting at 1:30 to discuss the upcoming Women's Studies conference that UPEI will be hosting in October - please make every effort to attend because some very important things need to be discussed!!
