However, Catherine is reluctant to pursue embroidery and household chores, and finds herself rebelling against her parents' and society's expectations of her. As the daughter of a lord, she is expected to lead the life of a proper young lady of the time. The eponymous Catherine is a headstrong teenage girl living in the Middle Ages.
