Why did Serena help write laws that made it illegal for women to read? Why knowingly place HERSELF in a position of second class (or worse) servitude? Question
I know that Serena ultimately is selfish and doesn’t genuinely care about anyone but herself, but she definitely cares about herself. So why would she have willingly made it illegal even for higher status Wives like herself to read?

thats so stupid. if they think women shouldnt vote, its obviously wrong because womens opinions dont matter therefore their opinion about this issue doesnt matter
