Aspects of the settings and mood of the story "The Women's Baths":
It takes place in a poor economy of Siria, specifically in the baths considered as women's place to relax. She could bathe in the Wastani, juwani, or any of the cubicles in between. The steam for the hot water hanged like fog, creating a magical atomosphere

This setting created a magical atmospher or mood that became a place of socialization while getting a bath.
The setting helps convey the theme of the story in which the narrator's mother is not happy and is always treating the grandmother badly. The grandmother does not want her daughter-in-law to take away her status at home.
