I know so well what becomes of unmarried women who aren’t prepared to occupy a position. I’ve seen such pitiful cases in the South barely tolerated spinsters living upon the grudging patronage of sister’s husband or brother’s wife! stuck away in some little mouse-trap of a room encouraged by one in-law to visit another little birdlike women without any nest eating the crust of humility all their life! Is that the future that we’ve mapped out for ourselves?
