The central Bosnian village of Dolina is located in a valley north of the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sarejevo. From a young age, Muslim girls are taught that their role as a woman is to help their mothers with household chores and serve men. While her male siblings, who spend most of their time playing and walking around the village, are not expected to work in the house (Bringa 106). Muslim boys enjoyed privileges because they were men. Muslim women generally did not leave the home to work because they maintained family farming, but they might sew and knit for other villagers. Women's work consisted mainly of tending the garden where they grew vegetables for domestic consumption. Women also milked and processed cheese (Bringa 52-4). The busiest part of a Muslim woman's day was the morning, when she did the cooking and cleaning. A woman's daily routine, which includes social calls to her neighbors, known as "coffee visits," revolves around her children's and husband's schedules. A wife was expected to be home whenever her husband was home (Bringa 87-8). Daily interaction between neighboring households occurs primarily through women's “cafe visits.” During “coffee visits,” women are expected to respect the values ​​of the Muslim community so as not to harm the reputation of their household (Bringa 91). Tone Bringa wrote: "As a wife, a woman's behavior was judged by her behavior within the neighborhood and village, and by her critical role as a representative of the moral status of her household." on a daily basis” (105). Women determine and maintain the environment that exists within the household while men are the providers of material substance (Bringa 86). The men spend most of their time working outside the village, in neighboring towns or in the industrial suburbs of Sarajevo. Some of the most common jobs include mason, welder, carpenter, electrician, auto mechanic, caretaker, and truck driver (Bringa 51). Fontana del Re is a poor neighborhood in Naples, Italy. Much like in the Bosnian village of Dolina, women in Fontana del Re, Naples, tend to stay close to home while men leave the area to look for work. Life in Naples is mother-centered. Thomas Belmonte wrote: “the mother is at the center because she controls and distributes the two sources of human vitality, food and love ».” (89).
