Resumo Inglês:
By means of a postal survey, interviews and group discussion sessions, we investigated the influence of integration in ICOS, a farming services cooperative centred on Chantada (Galicia, N.W. Spain. on the quality of life and future prospects of its female members. These are women who aspire to achieve urban standards of individual and collective development without abandoning their rural, agricultural lifestyle. Proposals are made as to how such endeavours might be supported, particularly as regards measures that might be taken by farm cooperatives.
