This article examines the changes in women's work in two northern Thai villages in the transition from subsistence to market economy. Instead of examining the impact of the economic changes on women's work adjustments, the study focusses on the effects of culture in buffering these changes. It borrows from Gramsci's concept of hegemony to understand how the traditional Thai culture influences the manner in which women's work compensates for men's frequent absence from the family farm to seek employment in the cities. Their strategies in taking on additional duties and the de-valuation of their own contribution reinforce the patriarchal social system and bolster the subsistence family farm economy. What was the impact of industrialization on women's work? There is no simple or single answer...' (Tilly & Scott, 1987, p. 227
