“…In 1948, educationist John Newsom moved against the principle of equal education for girls, and women's access to higher education subsequently flatlined at one in four until the late 1960s (Dyhouse, 2006: 35). Marriage bars were reinstated, and married women's employment, beyond teaching, became controversial, as heterosexual women were encouraged to prioritize motherhood (McDermid, 1995: 123-24;Dyhouse, 2006: 57, 81;Pope, 2011: 69, 74;Knox, 2021). Thus, several factors worked to frustrate Guido's post-war career.…”

The later career of British prehistorian Peggy Piggott, latterly Guido, is evaluated in this article, in a bid to further develop our understanding of women's participation in twentieth-century British archaeology. After WWII, when her husband Stuart Piggott was appointed to the Abercromby Chair in Edinburgh, she worked to assist his role. By the early 1950s, she had co-directed and published eight hillfort excavations, advancing our understanding of prehistoric architecture before the advent of radiocarbon dating. The authors consider Peggy Piggott's contribution as a fieldworker, promoting open-area excavation and influencing the next generation. We also consider her thinking, as an early advocate for continuity and Childe's diffusionism, in contrast to the invasionist views of Christopher Hawkes and Stuart Piggott. The authors reflect on the role her marriage played in enabling and restricting her career, her work in 1960s Italy, her expertise in ancient glass beads, and her activity in retirement.

“…If a woman heads a household and has never formed a household with the father of her children before, or if a woman is legally or permanently separated from her husband, this is considered as de jure (Rahayu 2017). Meanwhile, if a household is headed by a woman whose spouse is temporarily absent from the home or her partner does not play a larger role in the daily household economy, this is considered de facto (Spangler and Christie 2020) The poverty that binds coastal fishers is exacerbated by other factors such as single-parent status (Knox 2021) The phenomenon of the single parent is the condition of a mother who is responsible as the head of the family as well as a housewife who raises children without the assistance of her husband. For a woman, the status of widow presents numerous challenges, including bearing the burden of belittlement, being considered oblique, and being the family's backbone.…”

In Bugis-Makassar families with a patriarchal cultural system, men are the backbone of the family and women only work in the domestic realm. The main problem faced by widows and divorcees of coastal fishers is the dual role that requires them to take care of the household and children as well as earn a living for the needs of the family. This dual function requires a widow to have a strategy and carry out these two roles simultaneously. This study aims to find out how the strategies for making a living for widows of coastal fishers in improving the family economy. This study uses a qualitative approach with case study method. The data collection technique uses a purposive sampling for determining the informant and conducting in-depth interview technique with eight widows consisting of four widows and four divorcees. We also observed the daily activities of the informants. Meanwhile, the interview process was carried out using semi-structured interviews about how the strategy for earning a living was carried out so that it could support the family economy. The study found social capital-based livelihood strategies for poor fishers. They often interpret the strategy as a way or an alternative to a situation. In this case, the widow or divorcee of a coastal fisher is part of the community. Widows and divorcees who work in more than one type of work make their association with others as a form of social capital. Thus, they can provide support to each other as aform of social security and social capital to support the family.
