内容説明
A portrait of the women in an entrepreneurial Indian town in highland Guatemala, this text addresses issues of female subordination and power, focusing on changes in women's status during the last decade. The author attempts to show how entrepreneurial women in the communities utilize their roles as mothers and wives to formulate and manage the "female family business" - a system of cottage industry and trade that has sustained highland Indian families for centuries, providing women with autonomous production roles and control over important family resources. She argues that female family businesses now face extinction as development and a national economic crisis combine to wipe out the monetary gains and the autonomy of women's work.
