With the world inhibited by progressive thinkers dabbling in revolutionary ideas, amidst political upheavals at one hand and technological advancements on the other, it is mindsets that prove to be the stumbling blocks at every step, all the way.
New ideas that have the gravitas to usher change and progress are thwarted; women are still second-class citizens, at the mercy of patriarchal hegemony; individual choices, not conforming to set societal value systems, are frowned upon.
Amidst such a scenario, lone pioneers toil on, hoping that the fire that has just begun to ignite in small clusters will spread one day, eventually effectuating a social as well as intellectual revolution.
With this hope, Ellen and Jane fight their battles in their respective ways. Often, the journey is a lonely one, both psychologically and practically. But they never let go, as they belong to that special breed-the avant-guard.
