             We can see that it is because of that which they expect to gain
        from being a housewife that so many ignorant women choose this
        lot. Women with such mentality think they can escape family pres-
        sures, raise their standard of living, and secure their future; in addi-

        tion, they believe they will also help their families and relatives to
        benefit from their improved circumstances. At first, being a house-
        wife may appear attractive, because of the many benefits it would
        appear to offer, but later in life it becomes monotonous, until they
        are finally filled with regret.



             The Personality of the Housewife in the Ignorant
             Society

             Although they may vary in level of education or quality of
        moral characters; and although where they live and their means
        may be different, the identity of all housewives in a society of igno-
        rance is much the same.
             The women in the societies of ignorance are influenced from
        the outset by the expectations placed upon them by the society.

        From the time of their childhood, they may have observed thou-
        sands of housewives and, whether they know it or not, have
        recorded their observations subconsciously. And, when they find
        themselves in similar circumstances, they conduct themselves un-
        aware of the influence they have acquired and which, in a sense,
        they allow to determine their identity. For this reason, the character
        of the average housewife is composed of the same basic aspects.
        They all lead their lives according to their early observations and ex-
        periences. Even the ideal of a young woman, who has studied at

        university, and though she has a network of friends, may become an
                                        31
