Excerpt from God and Woman (Dyrendal)
Martha stood under the plank bridge leading to the second story of the barn and watched her two. Brothers driving a loaded wagon destined for the village. She was a striking figure, with her aquiline nose, flowing white sleeves, dark bodice, and red petticoat. She placed her hands upon her hips and drew up her mouth on one side into a sneer. Nearly everyone was going to the fair. Large Lofoten boats full of young people would soon be out on the fjord, and to-morrow morning they would be in the village. But she - she was not good enough. She would have to stay at home on the farm all her life and slave for her brothers.
