Quotes about: House

• At a certain point the family moved to Jaipur, where no woman could avoid the doli or purdah. They kept her in the house from morning to night, either cooking or doing nothing.

So my grandmother waited for my grandfather to go out, and then she dressed my mother as a man and let her go out riding with her brothers.
