Though they seem docile in the beginning, but later they challenge patriarchy and Liz lives separately from her husband and Lydia and Annabel struggle to get the compensation of their cut coat, lost doll and burnt house.

By all her means she attacks the male-controlled religion, myths and ideologies and wants to set herself free from all form of domination and doctrines which are still prevalent in the society as hindrances for the women's project.
