Her social and productive behavior reveals a strong internal organization of work and an active political role in social collectives that position her as an organizational reference. These “crianceras” women promote with their work and participatory behavior, components of cultural identity as part of their dignity. The new her women breeder’ positions would be indicating changes in the characterization of a rurality impregnated with renewed social practices.
