article explores how young womenĄŻs life courses sooner or later adapt to local
migration culture involving them in their husbandsĄŻ migration abroad that
eventually create space to express their agency. In doing so, it sheds light on
the feminization of pre-migration process following an intersectional <span>analysis that focuses on how pre-migration
activity, mobility and trans-border</span> communication of women work together
to bring changes in gender roles and social relationships in a patriarchal
society. The findings of the study suggest that by observing the mobility and
activity of the left-behind women of migrant households, the women of aspirant
migrant households are encouraged in many cases to support their husbandsĄŻ
migration to enjoy their freedom and develop their agency that ultimately
transform local gender relationships as a whole.
