CHAPTER SIXTEEN “In Aragon, men and women are not the same when it comes to status. Men hold more power than women. Men are the only ones who can attain education as well as work, while women have to stay at home and care for the children.” Tatiana wanted to roll her eyes at what her teacher is talking about. What do men have that women don’t? In physical attributes, it may be possible, but in other things, women can be as competent as men. "Many powerful men invest vast amounts of gold to make their wives look beautiful in social gatherings since women have stronger connections than men.” Great. Now a woman is being treated like an object, a trophy. A man with the prettiest wife holds the most power in social gatherings. Tatiana doesn’t even get why she listens to lectures like this.
