Abstract
The gender roles of Mexican women seem rather obvious to most people. You envision submissive women, cooking, cleaning and raising children. While this is in most part true, life is changing in the rural villages near Irapuato, Guanajuato, Mexico. As I began this research, I intended to define what the roles of these women consisted of. I found that the roles are not as rigid as one would imagine, and the women are not as docile as I had thought.
