	:The women particularly had a hard time in the wilderness ({{s\|1\|Nephi\|17\|20}}), as they always do, since they do all the work, while the men hunt and talk. "The Arab talks in his tent, cares for the animals, or goes hunting, while the women do all the work."62 The women have their own quarters, which no man may invade; and an older woman may talk up boldly to the sheikh when no one else dares to, just as Sariah took Lehi to task when she thought her sons were lost in the desert ({{s\|1\|Nephi\|5\|2-3}}). All that saved Nephi's life on one occasion was the intervention of "one of the daughters of Ishmael, yea, and also her mother, and one of the sons of Ishmael" ({{s\|1\|Nephi\|7\|19}}), for while "the Arab can only be persuaded by his own relations," he can only yield to the entreaties of women without losing face, and indeed is expected to yield to them, even robbers sparing a victim who appeals to them in the name of his wife, the daughter of his uncle.63 If a courageous woman demands that a raiding sheikh give back something so that her people will not starve, he is in honor bound to give her a camel.64 Nephi marveled at the strength that the women acquired in the midst of their trials and toils. "Our women did give plenty of suck for their children, and were strong, yea, even like unto the men" ({{s\|1\|Nephi\|17\|2}}).
