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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
That was a fantastic episode.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
...so why exactly did Peggy not want to go to the hospital? And why did they all humor her? I feel like I'm missing something fairly major here. (unless it's just the Plot Device to Break Up Souza and His Cute Nurse)
