Wolf, Margery. (1993). Uterine families and the woman's community.

Concepts used are ethnography and diversity. In ethnography Wolf looks at the uterine family in

context of the Chinese culture and Taiwanese culture, where culture of certain race in uterine

family and feminine generation is rendered valueless in a family set up. The Chinese family they

look feminine as narrow hearted. They belief the uterine family has no public existence and the

upper most organized is the male ideology. A girl is never anything but a temporary member of a

fathers household. When a young girl is married her family considers her as split water never to

return, she become vulnerable of suspicion by every member of the family she joins. Concept of

who is her family continue to change as her children grow up and her mother-in-laws sons take

more wives, etc. In Taiwan uterine family, they embrace diverse culture of inclusion of feminine

into a family set up and they accommodate diverse ideology. They belief uterine family is

important since the descent lines of men are born and nourished by uterine family of the woman,

and they consult a woman for prosperity. Male who ignore women are not free of their own

concept face its easier to lose a face than have a face. On Diversity concept several aspects

are considered which include religion, morality across cultural psychology. Diversity encourages

oppressed women to speak out to their groups and support the conservative women, also it

presumes women can help develop permanent loyalty and obligation. According to wolf a truly

successful Taiwanese woman is a rugged individualist who has learned to depend largely on

herself while appearing to lean on her father, her husband, her son (1993). After all a womans

family influence are never really stable.
