 The Women's Room is set in 1950s America and follows the fortunes of Mira, a conventional and submissive young woman who ends up in a traditional marriage. When it ends in divorce, Mira seeks a new life at Harvard as a graduate student.
Here she meets a diverse group of people far removed from her own experience. But things start to go wrong when Mira encounters the same problems with male-female power politics as she did in her marriage.
