The heroine lives in an era when women are strongly repressed, a place where women's morality and sex are glued together, getting pregnant out of wedlock, leaving her husband (her so-called life goal), and working in a mine ("man's job"). . . . Any one will be despised and reviled by noble people. However, what she most "deserves" to be "morally" punished for is what she did when she faced the "guilt" of these.
Being domestically abused, she should apologize to her purpose in life, because "no one beats a person for no reason", it must be the fault of the person who was beaten, as the protagonist's father said after she got home - he See you messing with someone else?
Being sexually harassed, she should resign, no one would do "those sort of jokes" "for no reason" even though they knew what it was.
But instead of the book of remorse, she picked up the law, and she won.
Before or after her, many women, in different industries, have been "joking" by men. Some people will say that they all "don't care". Why is the protagonist so "careful"?
I want to say that probably every human being does not want to live like an animal.
