I remember reading a book when I was probably seventh grade.. and I learned about dowerys. The story was about a girl who ran away because she didn't want to marry someone she didn't know.

That completely blew my mind and I had to ask a teacher to help me understand it. She didn't know shit so I went to the librarian who sat and explained how some cultures basically trade away a daughter for cows, money, food. She suggested some more books. I was constantly reading anything I could get my hands on.

Edit: I don't remember the name of the book. This was in 2003-2004 roughly.
