Editing Zapotec peoples (section)

===Household function===
In addition to playing an important role in the family as wives and daughters, another important role for the Zapotec women is that of the mother. Childbearing and rearing are female duties. It is the women's job to take on the responsibility of the children, while she is also expected to be the one to take care of the household in terms of the cooking, cleaning, ''et cetera''. In addition to all of this, many poor women are also expected to work to help support the family. "Women, therefore, must work to contribute to their family income, in addition to attending to their traditional household tasks of child care and food."<ref name="job">{{cite journal|last=Jopling|first=Carol F.|year=1974|title=Women's Work: A Mexican Case Study of Low Status as a Tactical Advantage|journal=Ethnology|volume=13|issue=2|pages=187–195|doi=10.2307/3773111|publisher=University of Pittsburgh- Of the Commonwealth System of Higher Education|jstor=3773111}}</ref>
