Miller, Barbara Cultural Anthropology.  6th edition. Pearson Education Inc.  Saddle River, NJ. 2011. Print. Pg. 376-377



                In this textbook, Miller observes and explains different anthropological behaviors. In this particular section, Miller focuses on women in the workplace and their advancement through the years. She talks about how an informal system of social networks emerged to help support poor Maya women vendors. She goes on further to say that many women in developing countries provide a substantial portion of their families’ income. This would provide solutions and suggestions for women in eastern Asia, a region not mentioned in this passage.
