Family and work: new patterns for village women in Athens

Journal of modern Greek studies4 (1) • Published In 1986 • Pages: 33-49

By: Sutton, Susan Buck.

Abstract
This essay is a study of changing female work roles as rural village women move into the city of Athens. Sutton concludes that the economic structures found in the city, particularly those which place much work in a non-familial setting, reverse major aspect of the village pattern. In this reversal, the manner in which migrant women advance the familial economy changes significantly (p. 33).
