This article discusses social change in the domestic sphere, especially in reference to the role of women and gender relations. The research was carried out in a protected area (Sustainable Development Reserve) in the Middle Solimões River region. The methods employed were participant observation and open-ended interviews. The research demonstrated that ecotourism generated significant income, raising domestic income in 148% in one of the villages studied. Access to income and wage employment gave more economic independence to women, more power in allocating domestic resources, and better access to communication networks outside the domestic sphere. It also promoted discussions about the inequalities in gender relations, but it failed to incite a decrease of such inequalities.Nelissa PeraltaEdna Ferreira AlencarUniversidade Federal do Paranáarticleecotourismgendersocial changeSocial history and conditions.
