""I want my daughters' lives to be exciting," she would say, "very exciting and filled with one hundred percent happiness, nothing more, nothing less." ... Happiness, she would explain, was when a person felt good, light, creative, content, loving and loved, and free." (pg. 80)
This is what these women want which is happiness; for themselves and for their children (girls).
"An unhappy person felt as if there were barriers crushing her desires and the talents she had inside." (pg80)
This is what is reality for these women. They are not allowed to express who they are in public. They are not allowed to have any rights and are not allowed to do as they please. This is what the women want to get away from and be able to change. If not for them for their daughters.

Something that might help you find more examples of the unhappiness that these women face is to look for one or two examples of women that are happy with their lives. YOu'll be able to compare and contrast them a little more clearlyy =]
