Yes I am studying this.
The Hours shows women's struggle to conform to society's expectation are evident in any time period. It compares characters from the film to characters in the book as well as shows how Virginia Wolf went through the same process.
Of course there is a lot more you can talk about. Just look at the rubrik and you can get ideas
