432 lkKui valitsus kehtestab seaduse, et naised ei tohi päevas rääkida rohkem kui sada sõna, on dr Jean McClellan hämmingus. See ei saa nii olla. Mitte Ameerikas. Mitte temaga. Kuid see on alles algus. Peagi ei õpetata tüdrukuid koolis enam lugema ega kirjutama ja naistel keelatakse töötamine. Nad ei tohi kasutada oma häält, neil ei tohi olla oma arvamust ja vabadust.

Ta teeb seda enda, oma tütre ja kõigi vaigistatud naiste nimel.
