...provides a luminous foil for Yerma's intensity in Maria, a village friend of Yerma's who is lucky enough to be blessed with children--and to possess neither Yerma's depths nor her demons. Kate Arms assumes a commanding presence as the most cruel of the washerwomen who gossip about Yerma's barrenness and cast aspersions on her fidelity, but she is equally comfortable in the sympathetic, backgrounded role of Dolores, the witch-woman who provides Yerma with ancient pagan remedies against infertility.

Nor did the non-musical excitement end there. A brief intermission provided opportunity to eavesdrop on the gossip of the very nattiest of the old Boston families or enjoy a cigar or rose in the lounge...
...uses this thesis to explain why women gossip (they have to gather other people's business), why women flip channels (they have to gather the various shows on T.V.) and why women buy five shirts which look the same (they have to gather what they like). Men are often befuddled by these tendencies, just as women are frustrated by men's complete lack of understanding and cooperation. Perhaps what women call selfishness is just the hunter coming...
