"Some women cheered at the mention of foremothers, others booed the word "men". It was rather confusing. As Betsey pulled herself up to put her person behind her words, a little silver chain swung out from her neck. It held a double-headed axe, symbol of matriarchy. It had been Minnie's present to Ingrid who, finding it a little warlike, had passed it on to Betsey with the words "to my dear old battle-axe". Dorrie saw it and was sure Betsey had another lover. So that was why she was always tied up on Sundays.
- Get your act together, sisters, snarled Blanche from her wheelchair. We are not here to have our picture taken.
- We will mobile the girls' schools, Betsey declared.
- They look quite mobile already, said Dorrie, gazing at the figures bobbing up and down on the waves.
- And the convents and the ante-natal clinics...
- Wherever women together produce contempt in men...
- Women's prisons and girls' homes, laundromats and supermarkets, changing rooms and ante-natal clinics...
