Of course I have read other period pieces, but this is the first time I have felt so strongly the desperation and oppression of women at that time. Usually we focus on a romantic story, and the oppression of women is illustrated in the form of a matchmaking with some handsome rich man. Here, men decide about her future, about her home, about her debts while she is present and she doesn't even have the right to speak.
