[quote=Anonymous]I was just thinking about this yesterday watching "The Bishops Wife". The bishop of some sort of Episcopal type church lives in a mansion with a cook, maid who doubles as a nanny, and a secretary and they are seen as very generous because they allow the staff the afternoon off to go Christmas shopping. I said "shopping for who? These poor women have no husbands, no kids..." This is what leftover women had. When millions of men in their prime were gunned down in wars there were always women who were less attractive and had no one to marry. If they were rich they could leech off relatives but if they weren't they saw security in joining a rich household as a staff member. So this went away for the same reason nuns went away. There is no surplus of women who will do anything for food and a warm place to live.[/quote]
