Peruvian Women's Roles

Historic roles of Peruvian women were home makers and mothers. This has not changed much in retrospect, but many women now believe in taking on jobs outside the home to supplement income. A Peruvian woman is not afraid to work and pull her fair share if the time comes that needs to be done. These women do not mind being sheltered or pampered either, if you so choose.

With no expectations of grandeur and a white picket fence such as American women have, Peruvian women expect only to be loved and cared for in return for their caring and loyalty. A home maker has been a role placed on women in Peru that are located in small traditional villages. However, in the larger cities, these roles are not necessarily placed unless a family chooses to do so. Many women in larger cities have their own dwellings, live outside of their family home and believe in working to take care of themselves. Relying on someone else is out of the question in most cases. When Peruvian women were told of America's alimony, many were disgusted. Saying that Peruvian women can take care of themselves and should not take the money ordered to them, these women look down on the ease at which other women accept it and even fight for it.

The role a Peruvian woman takes on in your home is partially up to you. Although she has her own mind and can make her own decisions, it is important that you are honest about what you are looking for in a companion or mate. When looking for a woman, make sure that you accept her for who she is and not what you can make her into, as the gender roles that are sometimes ingrained in women simply do not go away because they are in a relationship. To make a Peruvian woman happy, treat her well, give her room to grow and allow her to help you with the home and wealth therein. She will be happy with you and you with her if you simply stay honest with what you expect out of the relationship and how you want it to end. If you are only looking for a summer relationship and expect to pick it back up when you next visit her, be honest. Although many women will not like this idea, it is still accepted by most.

When finding a Peruvian woman to love, it is important that you love her inside as well. Most women are exceptionally smart and educated, and others are more exceptional in the kitchen or working out of the home. Take her for what she is worth and do not try to change her. The roles, again that she was raised with simply won't disappear because you whisk her away to your home or try to change her.
