I have found my voice despite all your obstacles to property, suffrage and careers. And as for dowry, that’s nothing but bribery to fob off a “Sister.” L­IV Now it is called the “glass ceiling.” It has always been a “crass ceiling.” ADAM But look at all the wonderful things I have wrought–the plow, the industrial age. A­IV You are “Master­Builder!” A man among men! L­IV Get a ‘load’ of him ­ On his “High Horse” again. LILITH “Blab” on if you will. If I do not provide you with male heirs, none of these things will happen. And you have been known, to deny credit that belongs to my “Sisters.” . ADAM Really? Give me a “for instance.”
