QUOTE : ...how much easier things would have been if she'd been born a boy. Not only would her father have been a lot less likely to try to keep her out of the woods the way he did, she'd have been able to make big, strapping farm boy friends who'd probably see "Hey, come out and help me dig Daddy out of his grave so we can get the demon wasps out of his corpse" as an invitation to good, clean fun. Girls weren't supposed to rob graves. Girls were supposed to darn socks and do needlework.
