The theme of rural women: housewives working from dawn to dusk, farm laborers, wet nurses, girls working on richer farms. They dream of their own bed, shoes, school and becoming a lady. Prayer for dowry so as not to marry an old man. Often illiterate because women do not need school. Our grandmothers and great-grandmothers. The author gives rural women the opportunity to talk about their lives: daily work, fears and dreams. This powerful, deeply moving read shows the strength of a woman, her boundless devotion to her family, but also her desire for change and the unequal struggle for herself in a patriarchal society.
