Carmel Camilleri : The representation of familial status and roles in groups of young Tunisian working women.
In order to analyse the influence of professional activity on the traditional image of woman in the Moslem family, 79 lower-class Tunisian girls and women from 15 to 30, in Tunis, were asked to choose between 10 sketches, opposing modern and traditional representations. Typical answers were distributed between extreme traditionalism and extreme modernism, revealing two sets of representations, independent in the minds of the subjects : a modernist set concerning the moderate emancipation of the wife, the other, traditionalist, concerned with the mistress of the home and the mother. The level of the average attitude score of working women corresponds to the level of their professional categories. Work and education, significantly increase modernism but strongly influence only the first set of representations. Work is considered as degrading and as something that should be given up if it comes in conflict with the home. Birth-control and the recruitment of female workers both desired by the government, are connected with the second set of representations; hence the necessity of direct action upon the latter, work and education affecting it only in the long run.
