"Using sources such as oral interviews and the media, an anthropologist and psychologist examines the changing attitudes and images of middle-class women, the different roles and contexts of women (such as working women, mothers, wives), and the changing socialization of different generations. This publication contributes greatly towards an understanding of the changing relations between women, on the one hand, and men, family, and society, on the other, that has been occurring in Peru. Similar studies about other women in Peruvian society would help reveal the different realities in which women work and live"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
