It sounds very interesting. I'd love to see it. Having been raised in the 1960s, it is difficult to imagine not having any of the rights (I guess I should say priviledges) I enjoy. Yet it was not that long ago that women could not vote and all men either for that matter! Let alone get a reasonable salary for the equivalent job performed by men, own land, etc. I know that there was a time when a woman could own property if it was left to her by her father. However, it was common practice for fathers to refuse to give land to daughters until they were married (when it would then belong to her husband) because fathers did not believe women (even their own daughters) capable of financial matters.
