VIDAL, D.L.. Rural women management in the northeastern Brazilian semiarid. Arch. zootec. [online]. 2011, vol.60, n.232, pp.1137-1148. ISSN 1885-4494.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0004-05922011000400029.

It is analyzed women micro-economic participation of six different agricultural communities in the City of Tauá, Inhamuns Semiarid Microregion, Ceará State, Brazil (Communities of Junco, Tapera, Lustal I, Lustal II, Tiassol and Queimadas), in relation to the rural tasks management. The Family Farm Production Units (FPUs) of these rural women represent 75.66% of the participants (n= 103) of the project. The total number of FPUs in the 6 communities studied is 305, therefore, the current study encompassed 24.59% of rural women in these communities. The in situ collected data through questionnaires, have been submitted to the frequency, multifactorial and variance statistical analyses. The rural women of these communities are predominantly 45.52 years old with school age children and they do not possess formal education. The partners of women are less interested in interfering in female control of these means of production because they are considered to be of less value in comparison to roçado and ruminant management. Thus, the women can freely manage these resources for family needs. They appear as main responsible for the fowl, swines and vegetables garden-orchard and are minimaly involved in activities with cultivation and ruminant cattle. From these results the importance of female work is clear for the functioning of the family farm production units in five rural communities (with the exception of Tiassol) being studied in the semiarid region in the Northeast of Brazil.
