| It has often been assumed that women in politics in Latin America approach their public responsibilities in a manner consistent with their traditional domestic roles. this article analyzes women's roles in Costa Rican politics and government through an examination of both the positions they hold and the attitued they maintain regarding these positions. We conducted interviews in Costa Rica with female political elites and gathered data from mail questionnaires. It appears that Costa Rican women in public life amre most likely to hold traditionally "female" positions and maintain both a feminine image and traditional family values. However, women in Costa Rican politics and government do not view their participation in the public sphere as an extension of their traditional domestic roles | |
