You know, I was mostly annoyed at the womens' attitudes. As far as I'm 
concerned, part of the whole thing was attempt to experience it in the same 
way that those they were portraying did (ok, albeit with cameras 
everywhere...). But it appeared to me that for the most part the women 
spent little effort setting aside their modern attitudes. Even the stupid 
caps- refusing to wear them because of their modern ideas about 'freedom'. 
Spare me. For all the grousing about dirty hair, they could have kept it 
cleaner if it was done up with the cap on top. <eye roll>
