Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the ways in which ethnic affiliation, gender ideology, ecological restrictions and economic change determine women's roles in subsistence fishing. An important area of interest has been the impact of fishery restructuring on women's work and status and the gender division of labor. The gender ideology of each ethnic group and the way in which it shapes the gender division of labor and women's access to freshwater resources are discussed. An analysis of the intersection between ethnicity, gender ideology, the local ecology and the local economy and the emerging outcomes of this intersection, namely the strengthening of traditional female roles in fishing activities, is provided.
