Answers for "Uterine Families and the Women's Community" by Margery Wolf

1. Uterine is defined as a more cohesive and smaller family unit that revolves around the

mother and her offspring (uterine family). It is most likely that the mother, her children,

and her grandchildren will be related to one another through their mother's uterine

lineage.

2. China's uterine family is the most significant to women since it represents the most

meaningful part of their lives. As soon as a woman marries, her connections to her

father's family are severed, and she is accepted into her husband's family. She is still not

considered a formal member of her husband's family and is, for the most part, seen as an

outsider who must be handled differently from the rest of the household. One of the few

"families" that the newlywed woman believes to be true is her uterine family, which

consists of her children and grandkids.

3. Women who are regarded to be excellent wives or mothers to their children (uterine

family) receive greater respect and influence inside their husband's family as a result.

4. The uterine family may harbor animosity against the family's spouse or father and see

him as an "enemy." Most of the time, the ladies stay together, while the males and other

members of the family tend to isolate themselves. Consequently, the entire family would

be split into smaller groups as a result of this situation.

5. Female members of Chinese society would be very opposed to any attempt to restrict the

country's population since doing so would prevent them from having as many children or

expanding their family tree. Chinese women have a great desire to have a uterine family

in order to feel comfortable, stable, and accepted in a household that solely views them as

an "outsider," according to one study. Uterine families are formed when women have

children. If there is an effort to restrict the Chinese population, women will be deprived

of the opportunity to have a family that will embrace and love them.
