DIss. Women (Chapter 5)

This Article was about the Zapatista indigenous women and how they had to move into new roles. The actions and what was asked of the women were not the same as others, Women Across the different indigenous communities. This reminds me of a movie that we watched in class and how the women did all the work and the men sat around all day doing nothing. In this case the women that lived away in camps were treated or acted different from the women that lived close. Equally important, Women were the ones who worked in the fields, and harvested coffee. It was said that in different times the women did different things. It seemed like as the years went on women picked up more important roles and skills to better the saturation that their family was in at the time. you will never see the women and men together and since there are no phones the men would walk for miles and miles to see their lover and if the women is not there, they would just walk all the way home like in was nothing. I found that odd.
