“…The specific articulation of woman's culture (DuBois et al 1980;Taylor and Rupp 1993) will vary depending on the context; however, we agree with Blake (2008, 79), who argues that it takes place in incubation sites that maintain "the shared assumption of female-oriented concerns and interests, such as resisting male domination." Woman's culture may include the use of private ritual and politicization in everyday life that can form the basis for resisting forms of power enacted by the dominant colonial and mainstream US culture on the Mexican immigrant culture.…”

“…Woman's culture valued the elements that loomed large in a woman's life of the period: interpersonal relationships, family life, and home. As Dubois (1980) argues, the origins of woman's culture can be found in an oppressive society. The term itself is thus associated in some instances with a command of life that is impoverished.…”

Women and men respond differently to mock news stories about new developments in science and technology, with women associating more risk (p ≤ .05) and less benefit (p ≤ .05) than do men with reported developments overall. Interview data were used to construct a survey instrument designed to probe for differences in underlying attitudes that might explain this outcome. Results from administration of the questionnaire reveal that women are more likely than men to agree with "antiscience" statements. The assertion that women and men can be thought of as members of distinct cultures is invoked to provide a theoretical explanation for the data.

“…The relationships between political feminism and academic feminism and women's everyday cultures are hotly debated eg see Dubois et al, (1980). Feminist researchers have been concerned to ask whether women's networks constitute a strong base for women's culture and value systems, or merely act as a constraint reinforcing traditional attitudes towards gender roles.…”

Isolated Housewives and Complex Maternal Worlds — The Significance of Social Contacts between Women with Young Children in Industrial Societies

This article reconsiders the picture of the mother of young children in industrialised societies as the ‘isolated housewife’, suggesting this notion is by no means straightforward. We suggest there is considerable evidence for the existence of mothers' social contacts and their significance both as ‘work’ and ‘friendship’ in industrial societies. A pre‐occupation with the notion of the ‘isolation’ of ‘housewives’ has led social researchers to neglect sustained examination of the social relationships within which many/most mothers are involved on a day‐to‐day basis. Complexities of interpretation, for example what ‘isolation’ can actually mean, need to be drawn out from the existing literature. Evidence presented from two recent ethnographic studies shows patterned opportunities/constraints occurring in relation to mothers' social contacts within localised settings, whether through organised groups or other personal ties. The complex nature of individual women's social contacts is thus brought out. Some key questions are raised for the importance to sociology, anthropology and social policy of these apparently insignificant or invisible women's networks.
