how is mrs. higgins's point of view influenced by the time and culture in which she lives

As a mother, Mrs. Higgins lets her son live his own life. That doesn't mean she doesn't offer advice or neglect to tell him when he is wrong. She does not agree with him just for the sake of it or to keep the peace. She goes her own way in the same way Henry does, but she never backs down, and she never allows him to intimidate her. Their relationship is actually pretty typical.
