Women, family, and work.

This is a study about women and their current role in the family. I was curious to see how Salvadorans are seeing women's roles. It turns out that although El Salvador is a very small country (the smallest in Central America) it very much depends on what region of the country you are. I guess it is kind of expected that the women in the cities will have a more independent view of life. They will get an education and support their children by obtaining a job. The women where I will be going have a more conservative view on the woman's role. These women are homemakers, and from very smalls towns.
