I have the same passage highlighted in my book.  I wonder, what is the 
difference between the verbs "have" and "make"? In either case, none of the 
housewives "let" the maids ride where the will.  

Interesting also that Tom's women have jobs in the midst of this housewife 
dotted paradise he describes.
