Anomia and Social Participation among Suburban Women

The centrality of interpersonal relationships in the female self-image has been pointed out by several writers (for example, Mulford and Salisbury, 1964).

For many women, the main extrafamilial source of such approval and participation is the local community (Rossi, 1967: 126). With the physical expansion of cities, the development of relatively homogeneous residential areas, and the specialization of the female role in activities concerned with home and family, the bounds of the local community effectively delimit the space within which many women may expect to obtain their life experiences. The local community thus becomes a major reference group for the evaluation of their behavior and a focus of their need for acceptance. The salience of the local community in the self-image is likely to be further enhanced by the emphasis which Bell (1968), among others, suggests is given to social participation or "togetherness" in family-centered suburbs. In most cases, the norm of participation is matched by actual behavior but, for a variety of reasons, some women find themselves relatively isolated.
