I am guided by the desire to give continuity to my previous book, which allowed me to learn about the lives of older rural women: "Género y Ruralidad1. Testimonies of the lives of rural women in Chiloé". Given that the rural world has been blurring to be assimilated to an urbanity, which increasingly ascribes strongly to postmodernity from a sociocultural perspective and I have felt the epistemological need to show the evolution that the lives of Chiloé women are experiencing, considering the marked changes that have occurred in Chiloé in recent decades. In this book I show the current social transformations in the world of Chiloé, through the visibility of the lives of women identified not only with marriage and children, as was the case with their mothers and grandmothers, but who have begun to learn about other facets of social and cultural life, which has led them to achieve greater personal achievements, structuring their own lives from the world of paid work and changes in marriage and family. This book is also an open door to further research on the subject and embodies my passion for social research.
