Seemms to me there are people like this in every culture, in every time. Only thing different is the powerful motivator present for most of history. This kind of person either found someone to take up the slack or died. That kind of motivation is no longer present. She could be one of those do-nothiing housewives who kept a slovenly house with slovenly kids but she can't find a man.
