Question

Which best describes the author's overall perspective in the above paragraph?  I was born into a religion that placed me, a Brahmin, at the top of its hierarchy while condemning me, as a woman, to a role of subservience. The larger political entity to which I first gave my allegiance—India—was not even a sovereign nation when I was born.
