Summary

This quote, "How we dwelt in two worlds, the daughters and the mothers, in the kingdom of the sons," suggests that the speaker identifies as both a daughter and a mother, navigating between these two roles and their respective realms. It implies the challenging nature of these dual responsibilities, as the speaker is required to adapt and operate within the society predominantly focused on the actions and accomplishments of sons.
