Gender & power in rural Greece • Princeton, N.j. • Published In 1986 • Pages: 121-138
By: Kennedy, Robinette.
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a study of women's friendships in the village of Hatzi on the island of Crete. Through the study of friendship, Kennedy explores '…the basic, positive bond that is at the core of all freely chosen loving relationships, as well as the role of those relationships in women's everyday lives' (p. 121). The article examines both the meaning of friendship in context and attempts to understand women's experience of this relationship.
