Our relating with pastoral women and understanding their work has gone through multiple phases. We could point out before going to the field how pastoral woman's work does not find itself within the women and work discourse but it was after understanding the relationship of women with animals, we could understand the nature of "work" which a pastoral woman does. The work transcends beyond the binaries of paid and unpaid, human and non-human and, self and ecology. It helped us to look at the being of a pastoral woman in more complex and intricate ways.
