Michael Crichton Quote
It was terribly important that such women should marry. The failure to marry--spinsterhood--implied a kind of dreadful crippling, for it was universally acknowledged that a woman's true position was that of administratrix, mainspring, guiding star of the home, and if she was unable to perform this function, she became a sort of pitiful social misfit, an oddity.
