This excerpt is from my last year's Grandma's Wedding Quilts
series book Kizzie's
Kisses. This offers some insight into how well Kizzie deferred to male authority:
Kizzie could tell packing the wagon had used up
what little reserve of energy Mima had still possessed. She had watched as her
mother had crawled into her wagon box next to Meredith and, with a sigh, had
leaned back against a stack of bedding. Jessie had climbed into the seat to
drive the wagon, settling the shotgun at his feet.
Kizzie gritted her teeth as she recalled how he
had barked an order at her just as she had finished handing the jug with the
willow bark tea to Grandpa. “Kizzie, make sure the barn and corral are clear
then catch up and get in the wagon. We’re leaving now.”
Jesse was her younger brother. Who was he to give her orders?
