Oppression takes many forms in Maycomb, Alabama Which is not surprising for a little southern town in the middle of nowhere. The 1930's was a prime time for oppression's of all sorts such as gender,racial and wealth stereotypes. for me the quote that best explains this would be "Aunt Alexandra was fanatical on the subject of my attire. I could not hope to be a lady if i wore breeches; when I said I could do nothing in a dress, she said I wasnt supposed to do anything that required pants. Aunt Alexandra's vision of my deportment involved  playing with small stoves, tea sets, and wearing  the add a pearl necklace she gave me when I was born." this quote demonstrates sexism.
