Summary
Skeeter and Aibileen meet at Aibileen's house for the first time to work on the book, but it does not go well. They're both too nervous and fear that if they were caught together, they'd be accused of "integration violation" which forbids white people from meeting behind closed doors in case they are helping the civil rights movement. Aibileen comes up with the idea for her to write the narrative herself and for Skeeter to simply type it. Skeeter is skeptical, assuming Aibileen does not have the skills and literacy, but she learns otherwise. Aibileen reveals that she writes every evening for an hour, sometimes two, as she prays for people in her church and community in need.
Skeeter sends Aibileen's chapter to Elaine Stein in New York, who calls Skeeter to say that the material is good but there needs to be at least 12 maids' stories to make a book and it needs to be done in six months. Aibileen has asked 31 other maids but they are all too scared to help with the project. Finally, Minny agrees to be interviewed but she sets down the rules for Skeeter.
