Read the following passage from “The Women’s Baths.” After reading these sentences, the reader can most likely conclude the narrator *
I have never known my grandmother to be so generous and open-handed as on the day which we spent at the market baths. She was pleased and proud as she listened to the blessings called down on her by those who had received her largesse. Then she gave me an intentionally lofty look, as if to say: 'Can you appreciate your grandmother's status now? How about telling your mother about this, now that she's begun to look down her nose at me?' As she left the baths there was a certain air of haughtiness in her step, and she held herself proudly upright, although I had only known her walk resignedly, with a bent back at home. Now she was enjoying the esteem which was hers only when she visited the market baths. At last I understood their secret...
