"Unlike me, Re-nefer's son had not been able to hide his heart from his mother. Re-nefer had despised the women of the city since she arrived in Shechem as a young bride. 'Stupid and empty,' she branded them all. 'They spin badly, weave atrociously, dress like men, and know nothing of herbs. They will bear you stupid children,' Re-nefer had told her son. 'We will do better for you.'"
