Judy Lindendorf:
When I see you, a smart, powerful woman, and see you acting like the town idiot, it makes me sick! When most women are struggling to demonstrate their intelligence, their complexity, here you are trying to prove just how stupid you can be!
Mary:
Judy, please...
Judy Lindendorf:
Look! Here is a card from an early card catalogue. See that handwriting? Look at the flowery script. That's what young ladylike librarians were taught, penmanship.
Mary:
I am sorry!
Judy Lindendorf:
Melville Dewey hired women as librarians because he believed the job didn't require any intelligence! It was a woman's *job*!
Mary:
That's not my fault...
Judy Lindendorf:
That means it's under *paid* and under *valued*! This country has *more* illiteracy than some of the most underdeveloped nations! Even Americans who *can* read *don't*! They watch movies, they watch television, they watch movies *on* the television!
Mary:
I said I was...
Judy Lindendorf:
Get out! I won't have you working here.
Judy Lindendorf:
[as Mary starts to walk away]
Mary!
Judy Lindendorf:
[as Mary stops and looks]
This is a depression!
