Read the passage from The Pillow Book.
What evidence best supports the conclusion that the
author feels sympathy for women living at home?
"When I make myself imagine what it is like to be one of
those women who live at home, faithfully serving their
husbands women who have not a single exciting
prospect in life yet who believe that they are perfectly
happy I am filled with scorn. Often they are of quite
good birth, yet have had no opportunity to find out what
the world is like. I wish they could live for a while in our
society, even if it should mean taking service as
Attendants, so that they might come to know the delights
it has to offer."
O "faithfully serving their husbands"
O "they are of quite good birth
O "yet have had no opportunity to find out what the
world is like"
"even if it should mean taking service as Attendants"
