I'd love to read your insights. I didn't like the poop thing that happened in The Help but the emphasis of demanding separate rest rooms as a theme was probably pretty true to life. I sweltered with them over the ironing board on those hot southern summer days. And the whole nanny culture. I can imagine the little kids loving the women who cared for them. I think that those relationships must have helped move Civil Rights along.

Speaking not nannies that was another good book. It was more of a classist look at American culture. These were New York pent house families. What I took away form that is they did not respect the bonds that develops between people. They fired the nannies at will.
