Aunt Lydia's.

Yeah there are quite a few of them.

Working for the man against her sisters.

Hey work for the man to lift yourself up but do it while giving other women a lift.

Susan Collins reached out her hand and the quickly pulled it away so she could retain or obtain more power.

Aunt Lydia’s, yeah we have them and they are a dangerous foe.

AUNT RHODY
Go tell Aunt Rhody, go tell Aunt Rhody,
Go tell Aunt Rhody that the old gray goose is dead.
The one she's been saving to make a feather bed.
The old gander's weeping, because his wife is dead.
The goslings are mourning, because their mother's dead.
She died in the mill pond from standing on her head.
Go tell Aunt Rhody that the old gray goose is dead.

[Not having seen The Handmaid's Tale, I didn't get your reference to Aunt Lydia until I googled it just now. I hope that my great-great-grandmother Lydia Trow Sommers Morrell Hallock was NOT like her.]
