You missed my post #5 where I acknowledged this... However, after having read her book it's obvious that much of her personal angst is due to the total stripping and denigration of anything good about her Father and his memory by the rest of the grubbing family. I personally don't see it as a gender thing for her to keep the one and only thing she was allowed to inherit from her father. But, sadly, even that connection has become so soiled she has apparently chosen to give it up.
