Det er særpræget, at etableringen af grønlandsk selvstyre i 1979 forsvinder ud af historieskrivningen om Grønland. Men så slipper vi selvfølgelig også for spørgsmål om der også blev sat spiraler op på unge piger under selvstyret, som i øvrigt fortsatte den moderniseringsproces, som det i dag er mondænt at kritisere.
