The Getting of Wisdom (film)
The Getting of Wisdom is a 1977 Australian film directed by Bruce Beresford and based on the 1910 novel of the same name by Henry Handel Richardson. The film is set in 1890s Victoria, when Laura (Susannah Fowle) enters an exclusive Melbourne ladies' college based on Presbyterian Ladies' College. The film follows her struggle for acceptance, conformity, romance, friendship and achievement over the next four years. Lesbian overtones between two schoolgirls are made explicit in the film, more so than in Richardson’s novel.
