Race issues to be the second problem, educations environment, and child status in the family. Then, the womens struggles in this novel are doing what she likes to show she can doing something without her her husband and arise from the oppressed to get freedom, and she get a job even though she always discriminated by white people. The understanding of multicultural feminism which emphasizes multicultural aspects, really upholds diversity.

And women also have the right to be free and get the rights they deserve as a woman.
