7、on. The fact that I like to look into the mirror has to do with my granny with whom I spent most of my childhood. I remember clearly that one night I heard her murmuring, “Women cant be seen. Women cant be seen.“ I was so confused as to look into the mirror the next morning to check if I could indee

8、d see myself. Only now as a young woman myself, can I understand that if was not physical visibility that granny had on her mind. Granny spent all her life taking care of the family, day in and day out. She cooked for her husband and 10 children. But whenever guests came, she and other female family

9、 members had to eat by the stove in the small kitchen. At family discussions, she was never asked for her opinion.
