Quote #10
Less and less a companion, more and more a grind, she was bolted to her desk by her desperate sense that the family depended entirely on her. (7.6.6)
At a certain point, Susan basically becomes the breadwinner of the family. You might think that this would be liberating for a protofeminist like her, but the complete opposite is actually true—she feels more chained down than ever now that it's up to her to pay the bills.
