entry 15

"She was about sixteen and just ripe for marriage. Her suitor and his relatives surveyed her young body with expert eyes as if to assure themselves that she was beautiful and ripe" p.g. 71

It is kind of hard to read a book where women have no rights and are treated like possessions. This culture is very odd, they buy women and they use multiple wives as a sign of wealth. It is just sick were there no feminists in the time. You would think that women would have enough self worth not to be treated like this. I guess though if that was all they knew they would know the way they deserve to be treated like women are today, and by that i mean having rights.
