"She dressed plainly because she could not dress well, but she was unhappy as if she had really fallen from a higher station; since with women there is neither caste nor rank, for beauty, grace and charm take the place of family and birth. Natural ingenuity, instinct for what is elegant, a supple mind are their sole hierarchy, and often make of women of the people the equals of the very greatest ladies."

To describe the role and lifestyle of a woman living in this era
To show how life would be for a man living in this era
To complain about life as a woman
To show the reader that life can be unfair
