They are nice and caring.
The ladies of Maycomb.
The fact that the Mrunas allow the oldest male to make decisions is what the Maycomb ladies find offensive. They believe this goes against their own belief in democracy and equality.
The conversation at Aunt Alexandra's ladies tea reveals a range of attitudes towards Maycomb's black population. Some ladies, like Miss Maudie, show compassion and understanding, while others, like Mrs. Merriweather, exhibit condescension and racism. Overall, it highlights the pervasive racism and prejudice that exist within the society of Maycomb.

The ladies of the missionary circle in Maycomb were discussing the Mrunas, a fictional African tribe, as being the misguided people they wanted to help by sending over their missionaries to convert them to Christianity.
Alexandra involves herself in Maycomb's social life by hosting gatherings and events at her home where she invites influential people from the community. She also volunteers for various organizations and serves on committees to actively participate in town events and functions. Additionally, Alexandra may attend social events, such as church functions and ladies' groups, to network and engage with other prominent members of Maycomb society.
Miss Maudie Atkinson stands up for the finches by defending Atticus’s parenting decisions at the Maycomb Missionary Circle. She highlights Atticus’s respect and care for his children despite the judgment of the narrow-minded ladies.
i think both but i think he prefers old ladies cuz cole is not kid anymore he's 18!
Maycomb is a fictional town in Alabama.
In my opinion, the ladies of Maycomb are exactly like Aunt Alexandra. They gossip way too excessively, never know when to hold their tongues, and could bring up exactly what is on their mind, careless of who may be hurt by their words. These ladies are very cliquey and not very nice, they only befriends with the people they like, and ones who don't fit into a category, they hate. However, usually Aunt Alexandra seem mean and strict, but when these ladies have their missionary meetings, she almost seem as if she was nice. I think this is because she feels as if she needs to keep control, because she is the one that is hosting the gathering.
Mrs. Merriweather is likely referring to the African American community in Maycomb, specifically Tom Robinson, who was wrongfully accused and convicted of a crime he didn't commit. She believes that the ladies of the town should forgive him for his perceived role in the incident.
The irony lies in the fact that the Maycomb ladies express concern for the well-being of the Mrunas, a distant African tribe, while neglecting the poverty and mistreatment of their own African American community members. Mrs. Merriweather's statement to Scout highlights her hypocrisy as she fails to see the inequalities and injustices present in her own community despite claiming to uphold Christian values.
