“I have serious doubts whether these women are really happy.” Although her subjects told her they felt financially secure, the images implicitly criticize what Ms. de Tezanos sees as a patriarchal society that values women’s dependence on men to ensure that security.This photo series, not from Turkey but Guatemala, poignantly raises the issue of what role can women have in a society dominated by men. Once the children are off at school, can a woman feel fulfilled by her life at home? The photographer clearly argues "no".
