This has resulted in afalse reduction of the complexities and structural oppositions of the ways in which women in modern Western, industrial cultures reproduce and make use of theirfolklore. By foregrounding the paradoxes, instead of the resolutions, however, we may begin to comprehend, rather than reduce, these less logical and far more complex aspects of culture. In the process of interviewing Rose Kerrigan, a Communist, Scottish, Jewish woman in her eighties, I became aware of a needfor a different theoretical paradigm to explain the seeming inconsistencies in her reported actions and choice offolkloric expression
