The eight essays in this volume explore the public, or
extra-domestic, lives of women, examining the connections between
their activities in the public and private domains. The purpose
underlying this theme is twofold: first, to counteract the common
tendency to ignore the influence of women outside of the home, and
second, to test some generalizations about women's status and
social roles which have developed from feminist scholarship. Taking
as a starting point the model of cultural anthropologist Michelle
Z. Rosaldo, which suggests that asymmetry between the roles of men
and women stems not from biology but from social custom, the
contributors go on to discuss and question various aspects of this
theory.
