"In her book, Silent Looms: Women and Production in a Guatemalan
Town, Tracy Bachrach Ehlers captures the paradox of gender
relations in a society that accords power and authority to men yet
leaves the major burden of child care and economic maintenance of
the family to women. Most monographs on Maya populations have
either ignored women's contributions to the indigenous economy or,
when they have included women's work, have ignored the
contradiction between patriarchal ideology and observed behavior
that is increasingly sharpened by the political and economic
transformations taking place. "
