I loved Episode 3 Charolotte's Web and Episode 4, Madhouse in Bletchley Circle San Francisco. Just as there is a depiction of overt racism and disdain for aggressive women that is beautifully depicted for this period piece these attitudes are still in existence and subtly control our society today. How hard it must have been for women in the 1950s who were intelligent but shut down by their fathers, brothers, husbands and at times even their mothers. I was really disappointed by the first critique I read of the series. It had to be written by someone who has not been exposed to or felt the pains of racism and sexism. Women and people of color have come a long way since the 50s but we still have a long way to go.
