But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of “family“ in its narrow, peculiarly European

But it may be a good thing for all of the girls, as their social status are much higher and they are no longer the subordinate (部下，下级) of their parents and husbands.（分数：10.00）(1).What does the author mean by “Family
