In this chapter, the protagonist talks to her co-workers about having a child. She tells them that she's not giving up her career because she wants to be a "role model" for her peers who want to have children. She says that most companies don't know what to do with their employees when they lose their jobs, and that women need to work outside the home to find a job. She also says that women shouldn't write their own names on the election ballot, since people have fought for it in the past. She wants to pass the torch on to the next generation of women.
