Summary
Women live in a context permeated by ruptures and permanence, whether in the professional, familiar field, and mostly in the field of social relations. Many rules are prescribed to woman: she must raise the children, take care of the domestic environment, do not earn more money than their husband; she cannot be the breadwinner and must have an elegant and skinny body, be driven by emotion — to the detriment of reason — and submissive to her husband, boss, or parent(1). This scenario is related to the fact that, in the process of struggle and recognition, women sought a space external to the domestic environment, one which they could identify with. They did not abandon the responsibilities for which they were raised, especially maternity and domestic care
