SHE WOULDN’T. No attraction was held by the institution of marriage for Grace Ackerly. The planet, she'd observed, expected nothing more from females than they be submissive, modest brood-mares, permitted simply no privileges if not views of the own.  And yet, at twenty, an age at which the majority of Culture regarded her well past her prime, she need only wait just a little longer to become secure. No—she was pretty comfy declaring—she would not wed, regardless of the attraction collection before her.
