Andros said:
Lola has a fairly long conversation with her friend Mavis about feeding babies, her previous abortion, and Mavis' difficult pregnancy and c-section, which ends with the following dialogue:

Mavis: "Do you wanna have kids?"

Lola: "Nearly had one. Had an abortion."

Mavis: "Your mother?"

Lola: "Yeah. I should have fought harder."

---

Other than Lola's interaction with Mavis, her interactions with women are mainly either about her relations with men (with her temporary guardian "Auntie"), or with women who are unnamed (such as the warden of the delinquent girls' home, her landlady, and Lola's mother—who is just called "mum").
