* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Emily makes the claim that Mothers' Day was invented by greeting card companies in 1914, which is far off. It was invented by Anna Jarvis to honor mothers and became a national holiday when President UsefulNotes/WoodrowWilson made a proclamation for it to be one. Although, given her [[StrawFeminist character]], this might have been intentional.

* StrawFeminist: The guitar teacher Emily, who in Bill's words, dresses "pro-choice". Downplayed in that almost all of her dialogue is simply about teaching Peggy guitar and encouraging her creativity. The only time she directly talks about feminism is during her dinner with the Hills (in regards to Mother's Day).

** There is TruthInTelevision to add validity to Emily's claim: while Anna Jarvis envisioned a holiday that offered mothers appreciation and respite from their day-to-day duties, she later disowned the holiday after feeling that greeting card companies commercialized it and corrupted her original vision into another gift-giving holiday where children merely fulfilled obligations to their mothers rather than actively appreciating all their mothers do and have done.
