Compare and contrast gender roles in the "old country" (the Dominican Republic) versus the United States.
There are some pretty significant role differences between the Dominican Republic and the United States during the 1950's and even more so in today's society as there has been a transition of roles in the U.S. in the decades since.
Alvarez explained that Dominican women are out casted & regularly discriminated on the basis of a societal norm which is not only done within society but also politically rather than women in the United States.
