Chapter 12

"I didn't even know that you could do something like that.  I sure didn't know a girl could do something like that.  106"

I found this quote really interesting, because once again we are given a look into how Nadira was brought up.  As we read earlier, Uncle doesn't think that women should be in charge of a household.  Nadria and Aisha were raised believing that women can't do everything that men can.  Especially at GMS where we are taught that women can definitely do anything that men can, it is interesting to see Nadira in this situation.  I don't necessarily think that Nadria doesn't think she is capable of being a Geologist, but she just didn't know that women Geologist were accepted in her community.
