LA MUJER RURAL: EL CASO DE LAS VIRTUDES DE SANTA CRUZ DE TURRIALBA

Abstract

This article analyzes the participation of rural women in the productive and reproductive process, the invisibility of their work in agricultural households and their reproductive role in a double shift. Particularly, at Las Virtudes in Santa Cruz of Turrialba, the importance of family is recognized in the development of this community and the study of their members shows the naturalization of the subordinate role of rural women, despite working in the same conditions than men.
