## What is 'My Brilliant Career' about?

*My Brilliant Career* follows the story of Sybylla, a modern, young woman being pushed to marry when all she really wants to do is become a writer! That is, until she actually falls in love. As Netflix puts it, "will she marry, or risk it all for a creative life?"
