This volume studies the effects of male-oriented economic development projects and export processing industries on the traditional family structure in Third World countries. Emphasizing the sexual division of labor, this study is based on field observations and a survey of women in rural communities in the Dominican Republic. The author studies the impact of these companies--through employment of women--on the families, attitudes, level of living, and aspirations of the women themselves. Within this context, it presents a culture and its women not yet studied by North American sociologists.
