Maude Donna Mabry

Publisher Marketing: In 1906, I was barely over fourteen years old, and it was my wedding day. My older sister, Helen, came to my room, took me by the hand, and sat me down on the bed. She said, "You ve always been a good girl, Maude, and done what I told you. Now, you re going to be a married woman, and he will be the head of the house. When you go home tonight after your party, no matter what he wants to do to you, you have to let him do it. Do you understand?" I didn t understand, but I nodded my head anyway. It sounded strange to me, the way so many things did. I would do what she told me. I didn t have a choice, any more than I had a choice in being born."
