Working women daily create and re-create new organizational patterns of family life. Existing categories and existing assumptions simply do not do justice to that creativity. Understand 'reality' in its great diversity. Avoid imposing your own assumptions including gender assumptions. Avoid imposing your own priorities and solutionson those who are studied.
Researchers much reflect on their own purpose and politics as they affect the knowledge process.
The point of emancipatory research is to empower women rather than to control them. Incorporate a sense of history into the research process. Important understandings are lost when the researcher looks only at what is rather than what was and what is changing. Gender must be part of your research lens. 9. missing from my notes.
