She understood that her father only wanted the best for her, but she was discomforted by the idea that her dad was promoting her around and trying to recruit a husband for her. As if she couldn’t find a husband herself. These types of things showed Sayeed that women in her culture did not have much say in who they married or when they were ready to be married, because the father usually sets everything up for them.

Therefore, if citizens did not understand the use of vernacular, they were considered and lived in a lower class. Entertainers, including poets and authors during this time enjoyed passing on vernacular to all classes of people. (Sayre, 2010) The largest impact of vernacular on citizens was the knowledge of their own identity as a region. Vernacular was now being used in all facets of daily life. The churches, philosophers, and national governments now had a language that could be called their own in each region.
The first obstacle was about the tradition in Western family. In those families of past Western, females had been considered as the property of the males in their family for example fathers and husbands. Men, who were living in that century, believed that women were created to serve men; therefore, women were kept always from school.
