BLANCHE: Stop it. Let go of that broom. I won’t have you cleaning up for him!
STELLA: Then who’s going to do it? Are you?
BLANCHE: I? I!
STELLA: No, I didn’t think so.
– Tennessee Williams
A Streetcar Named Desire, Scene 4. A disgusted Blanche tries to persuade Stella from cleaning up after Stanley’s poker party. In the Kowalski household keeping the place clean is seen as a woman’s job. But when Stella wonders if Blanche might do it, her sister responds with an air of shocked social superiority at the very thought of it.
