Sooke’s annual women’s show

Q: Why does women-anything always boil down to shopping and fashions shows?

A: Sadly, that’s the shit that sells. Sigh.

She says

It would be as wise to set up an accomplished lawyer to saw wood as a business as to condemn an educated and sensible woman to spend all her time boiling potatoes and patching old garments. Yet this is the lot of many a one who incessantly stitches and boils and bakes, compelled to thrust back out of sight the aspirations which fill her soul.
