Clearly, the women are the stars of this story. While the men are involved in petty infighting and maneuvering for political power, the women push them to take action on the issues, to end the high prices for bread and clothing, to provide a free education for all children, among the highlights. Although their accomplishments seem small to them, they adapt an intelligent philosophy on their lives and their contributions and become at peace with the past and all there still is to do.
