I think the stories are extremely dismissive of women and girls, as I posted upthread. This is one of the reasons I dislked them.
Women who venture out of their homes do so at their peril. The one woman who does something bold and heroic--Lavinia--gets no credit for it; the boys are annoyed by what she did.
