Women and cultural heritage: Traces of guardians and heirs.

The role of women in preserving and inheriting cultural heritage has long been an important aspect of societal development. However, this role is often overlooked or forgotten in historical and cultural narratives. This paper explores the important role of women in preserving and passing on cultural heritage in the context of globalization and contemporary issues. The role of women in traditional societies and cultures covers various aspects, such as the role of women in rituals, oral traditions, arts, and cultural education. Women are involved in the maintenance and transmission of cultural practices through informal education and practical learning. This paper also covers how women are the inheritors of cultural values and knowledge. Women play a role in cultural preservation through the development of traditional skills and creative interpretation. A number of initiatives and programs can support women's role in cultural preservation, such as cultural skills training, cultural entrepreneurship development, and community groups. Based on these, women have a central role in maintaining and passing on cultural heritage. Despite global challenges and changes, women continue to strive to maintain cultural identity and pass on noble values to future generations. Through the support of community initiatives and awareness, the role of women in preserving culture can be further strengthened and appreciated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
