In the society from "Girl," it is much different from ours today. For instance, back then, women didn't have careers or make money by themselves. The men were the ones who went to work during the day and "brought home the bacon" so to speak. It was completely normal for women to stay at home and cook and clean and be stay at home mothers. With that kind of society, it molded women to have habits of cleaning, taking care of the house and not really having a voice. Their husbands were head of the house and always has the final and sometimes the only say in big decisions. In the story, it shows how crucial their culture relied on this type of behavior by showing the conversation between the mother and her daughter. The mother kept saying things like if she were to lose her virginity, she would become a slut and it would make her life so much harder. Women must be pure when they are married and then must take care of her husband and her family and the house.
