Quote #10
Eunice became maternal, scrambled a terrifying number of eggs for them, kissed Babbitt on the ear, and in the voice of a brooding abbess marveled, "It beats the devil why feminists like me still go on nursing men!" (31.5.23)
Eunice Littlefield is not a girl who'd usually cook dinner for men. But as soon as she's given the opportunity, she falls right into the social role that's been set out for her as a "feminine" woman. She calls herself a feminist, but finds out just how difficult it is to break out of her traditional female role.
