Women in the Household Economy: Managing Multiple Roles

Abstract

The following article describes the strategies of a group of rural Kenyan market women for coordinating their various family responsibilities: subsistence production, income generation, child rearing, and household maintenance. By approaching the study of these women through their income-generating role, which is essential to the performance of their other roles, this analysis provides an important éntree for understanding all aspects of women's behavior.
