Based on the excerpt, the most accurate conclusion is that Lindbergh was disappointed in the questions reporters asked her. She expresses her feelings of depression and slight insult regarding the focus on "conventionally feminine questions" about clothes and housekeeping, while her husband is asked more substantive and technical questions. This indicates her dissatisfaction with the nature of the inquiries directed at her. The other two conclusions do not have sufficient support from the text.
As I walked out of the building two women ran up to me.
"Oh, Mrs. Lindbergh," said one, "the women of America are so anxious to know about your clothes."
"And I," said the other, "want to write a little article about your housekeeping in the ship. Where do you put the lunch boxes?"
I felt depressed, as I generally do when women reporters ask me conventionally feminine questions. I feel as they must feel when they are given those questions to ask. I feel slightly insulted. Over in the corner my husband is being asked vital masculine questions, clean-cut steely technicalities or broad abstractions. But I am asked about clothes and lunch boxes.
