girl I am.

HIGGINS. Playing! The hardest job I ever tackled: make no mistake about that, mother. But you have
no idea how frightfully interesting it is to take a human being and change her into a quite
different human being by creating a new speech for her. It's filling up the deepest gulf that
separates class from class and soul from soul.

women?
He like women who are independent and treat
themselves as equal to men rather than obedient
women who are like their husband’s servant.
