Summary

This quote suggests that the character Aibileen, who is described as older and soft-spoken, surprised the speaker by speaking out and expressing opinions that were uncharacteristic of her.

It highlights how individuals can evolve and reveal unexpected sides of themselves when given the opportunity to be heard.
