Read the excerpt from The Little Foxes.

REGINA (to BEN, triumphantly) Exactly. (To HORACE) So I did a little bargaining for you and convinced my brothers they weren’t the only Hubbards who had a business sense.

HORACE. Did you have to convince them of that? How little people know about each other! (Laughs) But you’ll know better about Regina next time, eh, Ben? (BEN, REGINA, HORACE laugh together. OSCAR’S face is angry) Now let’s see. We’re getting a bigger share. (Looking at OSCAR) Who’s getting less?

Which of the following themes does this reinforce?
Women are often pressured to conform to roles set by society.
Women are commonly underestimated by those within society.
Women suffer injustices and abuses in male-dominated societies.
Women artists frequently face difficult paths when pursuing careers.

The excerpt implies that Regina wanted to participate in the business, but her brothers did not believe she was capable of it. While Ben and Horace seem to agree with her intentions, Oscar seems resentful. This excerpt reinforces a common idea in feminist literature, which is that women are often underestimated by society. This is particularly true in areas that have been traditionally dominated by men, such as business.
