'I like Grandma better already!' Yvonne exclaimed in her heart as she continued to pay attention to the flashback story that her grandpa was narrating.
He went on to speak about how she realized that people treated girls either as burdens or as means to form connections with the other noble families through marriage.
They were pawns in their family's hands and could not even choose who they would spend the rest of their lives with.
Thankfully, she had met someone who understood her desires and her hopes but not everyone was as lucky as her.
She did not want her daughter to suffer just because the traditions and the norms of the Kingdom stated that women needed to be under their husband's thumb.
She wanted a better world for her daughter and every other girl so that they might do whatever their hearts desired.
'She was way ahead of her time.' Yvonne remarked as even now, girls were treated as lower than boys.
Do you remember the incident with the blue bird that Yvonne recalled in this chapter?
