Abstract: A lo largo de los ultimos veinte anos el medio rural espanol ha visto modificar significativamente la vida de sis pobladores. Las mujeres, en particular las jovenes, han tomado orietatciones personales y laborales propias para situarse socialmente en un mundo rural en proceso de cambio. Las strategies de insercion adoptadas al final del siglo veinte por las mujeres mas jovenes han diferido de las de sus coetaneos varones primando aquellas la marcha del territoria a traves de los estudios como alternative a un medio rural con escasas oportunidades para ellas. En esta epoca les asemeja, sin embargo, un mismo origen aroganadero y la adopcion de estrategias mas familiars que individuales. En el Nuevo siglo las mujeres tambien actuan de modo diferente a los varones; unas continuan prefieriendo el exodo como via de insercion social y laboral, otras se aferran al territorio en busca de una nueva identidad simbolica de la ruralidad. Con estas estrategias cambiantes nos estan mostrando las diferentes formas de afrontar el cambio en el medio rural por parte de un colectivo particularmente desfavorecido en este complejo proceso de cambio social...In the last few years the rural environment in Spain has seen many important changes in the lives of its inhabitants. Women, especially young women, have made their own personal and professional decisions in order to get their own social status in a rural world which is undergoing continuous change. The insertion strategies followed by younger women in the last decades of the 20th century differed from the ones followed by their contemporary men. Young women gave priority to education, even though that meant having to leave their rural areas, which have never had many opportunities for them. However, nowadays they are similar to previous generations in that most of them come from families of farmers and cattle breeders, and in that they are making decisions based on family reasons rather than individual ones. In this new century women also behave differently from men: some of them prefer the exodus from their environment as a way of social and laboring insertion, while others hand on to their territory in search of some new symbolic identity of rurality. Through these changing strategies this particularly underprivileged group is presenting a different way of facing this complex process of social change in the rural world.
