La Otra Mirado

Masterpiece channel on Amazon Prime, La Otra Mirado is set in 1920, Spain.

I'm watching Season 1, loving it--all about a group of teachers and girls in a boarding school in Seville.   (So glad there are two seasons.) If you can't travel to Spain right now, or back in time, let Spain come to you.  A traditional school with conventional values about what women can do, think, and be (before women could vote there) is challenged by a non-conformist new teacher who dares to wear trousers and more....

In one early scene, the backdrop in a classroom is a map of the United States and a discussion about women "over there" who have recently won the right to vote.
