Wait - all those maids and hired hands described as French are actually black, aren't they?

I think I preferred the books before I realised that.

Doing something raical and shocking is a bit different to doing something you're physicaly incapable of doing, though. If what you're saying is that these women didn't drive because the social perception was that they oughtn't/couldn't, fair enough - but I read what you said as "they didn't drive because cars back then required physical and mental skills beyond the female ken".
