The chapter opens with a discussion between the two women. The first woman is pregnant with her child, and the second woman is engaged to be married. The chapter ends with the first woman complaining that she cannot divorce the other woman because she is pregnant. The second woman responds by saying that she has to divorce because the baby will not need a father, and that she chose a father who was good for her child. The woman then goes on to say that she had planned to marry the other man because he was famous, but that he chose a man who was not good for his child. She also says that he had an affair, and when the affair was exposed, he blamed the woman for wanting to control the situation. She then says that she did not want to give up her own career because she wanted to help him start his own business. The other woman responds that she does not think that she is hurting him, but she does want to protect their family. She says that family should not be based on social rank, but on the needs of family members. She adds that she will sacrifice her time and energy for the sake of the family. The two women then go on to talk about the food they would like to order. The women discuss the fact that they are both on a diet, and she says that in the past, she was not welcomed, so she would deny herself too. Now, she says, she realizes that she can eat less and eat more food sometimes. She tells the women that the media has been talking about how thin girls should be, and how the good girl should be defined by her weight. Some of the women have even been humiliated because of their weight, but the women say that if they were too thin, their personal safety would be at risk. The
