The person who told me this was actually a Russian lady. It was her knowledge of her own culture as compared to Americans. She had lived in America for a couple of years and was very awakened to the idea that American women aren't really afraid to "do it all"--bake, sew, clean, cook, take care of kids, etc. I'm not even really talking professions as you and I think of them.
