'Through all those early years I kept wishing that Pat Schroeder would be just a little more orthodox.'
She never talks dirty, but she’s not afraid to call a uterus a uterus. She doesn’t pull punches. She’s not feminine in the classic sense of ladylike.
But she’s just as easy to like as to dislike. Her role models, I’d guess, are the pioneer women of the Midwest and West — women who didn’t put on airs but rolled up their sleeves and made things work.She is plain-spoken. Schroeder would never say “ain’t,” but “wanna,” “gonna” and “oughta” are echoes of Iowa. She uses homely analogy instead of high-flown metaphor.
