Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Altering economic conditions and widespread male emigration have led to a questioning of the values of peasant society in Portugal. This perceptive study of a society in transition looks at the issues of gender roles (reflected in the book's title), the notions of community and egalitarianism, religion, and burial and death rites. The author argues that, while the peasant worldview is changing, many of the old values are being preserved.
