YES! I love her so much. Between Dottie and Whitney Frost, this show is killing it on female villains.
Really dug this episode with Peggy and Whitney backstories.
Joyce: You don't think it's too obvious? I think I look like I have a cat on my head. Buffy: But a very well groomed cat. Joyce: Well that's a comfort.

What I don't understand AT ALL is how Peggy could have decided to marry that pompous, cowardly twit from the flashbacks. She has been shown to have *extremely* high standards for men she's romantically interested in; I don't see how that guy got an agreement to a second date, much less a marriage proposal.

Well, a lot of women develop high standards through unfortunate experience. And working in the Home Office was pretty prestigious.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I can see it -- she thought it was what she was supposed to want, he was a good catch, etc.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hell, that's how my sister ended up married to a pompous, selfish twit. Happens to the best of us.

I can see it. Look at Peggy's clothes, her make-up (or lack of it). England had been at war for a year, austerity was the order of the day and Peggy felt she had to keep calm and carry on. It was a lovely contrast to Whitney, who for years refused to do the expected thing and finally caved to expediency; whereas Peggy toed the line for so long, until necessity dictated otherwise. It shows the difference in mindset, yet that they both arrived at positions of power through different means.

Did any of y'all watch The Bletchley Circle? It was a great show about some of those women in the 50s and I think most of them did get married and put all of that behind them.

Yes, that was the main premise of the show. One of the women discovers a mystery and, behind the backs of their husbands, gets the band back together to try and solve it.
