Just a Daughter

Just a Daughter. "Sarita was born in a small village in Punjab, India to a family that already has two daughters. Her parents, who dearly want a son, turn their disappointment towards the newborn baby girl and exchange her for a boy, a boy they adopt as their own son. When the rest of the family moves to Norway, Sarita is left behind in Punjab to work as a maid servant. In practice -- Sarita becomes a slave. 16 year old Sarita finally reunites with her family in Norway. However, the change of surroundings doesn't change her situation; Sarita continues to be a victim in her male dominated home. But now, in her new home country, the young woman becomes aware of her own rights and opportunities and, finally, develops into a strong activist for and a defender of the rights of many oppressed persons. Sarita Skagnes' autobiography, "Just a Daughter", is tragic and touching evidence of the situation of many women. It is undeniable evidence of the hopeless and tragic situations faced by many in this world. However, it is also inspirational; breaking away from the circle of violence and subjugation IS possible. This is an empowering book written by a woman who dared to challenge gender inequality and eventually became influential in affecting political action"--Amazon.com, viewed February 26, 2013.
