In The House on Mango Street the women are forced to stay in their immediate families and stay around the house with little interaction with others. The differences between the two groups are Juliet and other women in her life are grown up being told that they should grow up to be good wives and the women in The House on Mango Street grew up being told that they should stay home and cook for their families.
