- "“Ladiness” is grounded in a rather rigid code of behavior that varies only slightly according to ethnic or cultural values."
- "Two, Mother and aunt Wheezie were equally as passionate that I should become a lady. Becoming a lady was such hard work I hated it. I couldn’t fathom why any girl would want to be one.
