I object to the term "maid in her own castle". The book was written with the sensationalising of sex, because the tantalising of sex sells or maximises the financial returns. Why don't you research and write a book on the Jackets she gave him, while they were married? As both poor ones; Bob never looked down on the poor. While Rita atimes was aloof and condescending. I don't know who you are comparing with a groupy, but I was at Dread Roy's gates back in '71 when Dread Roy laid out the plans to BOB, Peter and Bunny for InI to take our message to the World. Rita was'nt there. I repeat; Rita is no saint. In doing your investigation, find out why sister Judy became an evagilical christian, and if Rita could have avoided her taking that path. Bob's father's behavior has nothing to do with him; because he died while skip was very young. You are implying that bob abused Rita because of her skin complexion which is totally unfounded as far I am concerned. And I know he did'nt condider her "black and ugly"; a term I have heard used by self hating ones.
