This chapter is called "Women's Lib Would Have a Field Day Among the Amish." It starts out with a short story about a auction fair. Men and women walk seperately. There are English people here.
Next is Kathlryn L. She's at a fair with her family today. Her daughter recently got caught for underaged drinking. She got probation, but now her daughter is on a better track.
Then, the book explains that the Amish believe that men are better than women. Women believe to only be here to serve men. Women rarely get praise for their hardwork.
Next is Marlys B. She works at a RV factory, but she gets harrassed by the male employees. She told the managers, but they did nothing. Then, she quit. Now, she works at a drape factory. She has decided to join the Church with her boyfriend. She realizes that she will have to lose some of her rights.
Next is Ruth G, who takes care of her sick mom. She has a job. She sells Stanley tools from home. Next is Edna and Wanita M. They started a quilt making company from their home.
Velda B is next. She has been shunned and banned. When she visits her family, she has to follow very strict rules. When she went to a wedding, her sister-in-law told her that she was no longer on the bann. She is ready to mend her relationships with everyone in the community.
Next is Sara S. She has a special needs brother. She went to the fair with her mom, so they can buy things for the family.
I liked this chapter. This chapter wrapped up a lot of the stories.
