Note:

General impression of lonely and isolated women with only moderate and superficial contacts. i(Ayse) old, 20 years in one area, and now senior, is
different. This impression confirmed by Ev. Ekon. {gl: home economist}, Saadet Arirt, {how did I meet her?} who was eloquent on the isolation of village
wives in town.

At the same time, this needs careful checking - people certainly prefer town comfort and possibly prestige symbols (NOT i(6587 Ayse Yilmaz)).

k<women migrants, preferenced fot town, loneliness>
{c: I do not mention the escape from very hard work in village, nor freedom from gossip and social control}
