摘要:The higher emigration of women and masculinization are still latent processes in rural areas of Spain. However, some women maintain or move their residence to these zones. This research aims to characterize the main life circumstances and models assumed and configured by rural women. Through a case of study of Sierra del Segura, Albacete, and the use of qualitative techniques, we discuss four major female life models. On the one hand, two life models that imply local trajectories anchored in the rural world and the maintenance of gender roles, although with important divergences regarding social and economic participation according to a generational component. On the other hand, another two life models connected with urban experiences, higher education levels and updated socio-cultural frameworks, which can promote socio-economic initiatives and help to fix the population.
