Also, would you say the mother’s actions in the movie correspond with her own words of advocation for women’s rights or are they hypocritical?

Personally, I’d say the simple answer to your query is that you’re over thinking a simple, family-oriented film. The character of the mother’s role, though small in comparison to the object of the story, typifies the common practice of early England, that of every family of any real means employing a nanny and being somewhat hands-off in the rearing of their offspring. I don’t know that it was hypocritical as much as it was selfish, the mother devoting little time to her children, yet parading around bellowing about equal rights for women.
Well… given that EVERYONE in the movie was British except the freaky parlor guy, I’d say it was a British movie that got popular in America. Interesting theory, if I’m wrong, though.
And the first thing for the details.
