It was noted that despite the occurence of socioeconomic reforms, the role of women has remained the same, a second class citizen compared to men. Such discrimination have developed tension and silent rebellion in women. This tension is characterized in the works of the two ethnographers, Bernardino Palumo and Mariella Pandolfi.
