Read the lines from the play Sojourner Truth.

REBECCA: I don’t need supposedly “learned men” to think for me. You shouldn’t either. We should vote as we think best.

MAMA (Shaking head): So that’s it again. Your father and I have warned you about attending those meetings. (Shakes head) Women voting! It’s absurd. (She returns to her knitting.)

How do the stage directions help you learn more about Mama's character?

The stage directions (shaking her head, calling it absurd, then returning to her knitting) show disapproval and a dismissive, uninterested attitude rather than active fear or pleasure.
