This is a little help for you: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee - Summaries and Commentaries

Look for: "Calpurnia: With much more gentle tactics than Aunt Alexandra, Calpurnia shows Scout a great deal about femininity. Scout absorbs Calpurnia’s lessons willingly because Calpurnia doesn’t try to force any standards on her. Scout simply starts joining her in the kitchen as Jem enters adolescence and she remarks “by watching her I began to think there was some skill involved in being a girl.” Ironically, although Aunt Alexandra wants to be Scout’s example of the feminine, Scout chooses to follow the examples set by women like Miss Maudie and Calpurnia. Lee shows the juxtaposition between Calpurnia and Aunt Alexandra by the fact that Alexandra won’t let Calpurnia cook for her lady friends."
