Taster: *A societal fear of independent women (assuming they are in possession of money) characterises unmarried women as unable to fit comfortably into community life. Such females are too powerful, and a threat to the status quo. Just as she would be reviled in real life, our spinster of Manderley is equally vilified in the novel. *
