"Tis," Demelza agrees without hesitation. "At home, I knew my daughter would be given the better things in life simply because Ross had money and status, but had I not married him, it wouldn't have been the same at all. I like that Darrow is different. Even without status, she can have what she deserves and even more. Women are treated that different here."

And sometimes she still has difficulty adjusting to this new way of thinking, but overall she quite likes it.
