Kinky Girl

Manifest Destiny
-"It's not like the famous episode in which Lucy and Ethel try a day or work, boxing chocolates on an assembly line in the U.S. They stuff most of the quick-coming candy into their mouths, laugh brown drool when they are fired because it doesn't really matter - Ricky and Fred have good jobs. To prove they're the ones who belong at work, the men on TV make a mess in Lucy's kitchen, a pot of rice exploding like a white volcano."

I found this to be an interesting passage in the book. It is making fun and showing the different roles that are given to men and women. Most typically, women have the jobs at home, taking care of the children and cooking. For men, they are meant to have jobs out in the world and bring in the money. Denise Duhamel makes this into a humorous scene with brining in the image of Lucy. Nowadays, the roles are starting to be flipped and women are going out into the working world. For instance, the Barbie Doll that is the vision of the book is made by women in facotories over seas.
