Look at the poem carefully and answer the following questions.

A daughter's wish
Father inherited our house from his father
And everyone says he'll leave it to brother
But what about me and my mother?
To expect a share in my father's home
Is not very womanly, I am told.
But I really want a place of my own
Not dowry of silk and gold.
