What is the theme in Woman Hollering Creek by Sandra Cisneros?

Sex roles is another theme in the story. Women, in Cleofilas' culture, are assigned to carefully circumscribed roles, as they are in most cultures. For example, she is given to Juan Pedro by her father, moves from her father's house into her husband's house, does not drive or have access to a car, and is isolated with her child to the small house where she must cook, clean, and care for her family without even the companionship of a television. She is shocked to meet Felice, a woman who drives a pickup truck that is her own, not her husband's, since she does not even have a husband. It is a truck she chose and that she pays for herself.
