When I wrote this, I was thinking more of a modern day mindset. But
as Mags pointed out, things were so different then, we can hardly
imagine it. I remember seeing a television program about unmarried
women in Ireland whose children were removed from them and given up
for adoption. They were speaking out about it for the first time,
having kept the baby a secret all these years, even from the men they
subsequently married. It made me very sad and angry to think of all
the women over the years who have been denied choice - either because
they were literally forced to part with children or, as Mags said,
the ducks were all lined up. . .

she was right about herself, or she made it right, who knows?
