Amazing time at Rånui library on International Women’s day reading about arranged marriage in Strength of a Name. We were discussing marriage in different cultures & times in history. We tried to imagine what it might be like for a young person to put the needs of their community before their own personal feelings… We talked about what life was like for women in 1926 & when we were young & getting married.
