Phrase: Break away from
Hi
Does the phrase break away from work here? Is the rest OK?
She was a rebel -- wanted to break away from the traditions set deep in her culture. She knew her dreams would never come true.
Thanks,
Tom

Thanks, AStars.
I want to say that she didn't want to follow the traditions the girls of her age were supposed/required to follow. For example, a particular dress code or behaving among men, etc.
Does the original give that sense?

The version I gave means that she had an inner conflict - to follow traditions, or violate them.
Maybe this:
She was a rebel and wanted to break away from her culture's traditions. She knew her dreams would never come true.
