The discussions involving the subject of women have been growing in recent decades as a result of reframing of women's roles and the exponential growth of their participation in public spaces. This break with some old traditions brought the woman to the labor market and, as necessary, extended not only the horizon, but with the provision responsibilities and functions in the family. Under this scenario, we have analyzed the perception of middle-class woman on the diversity of women's roles in five different family configurations. The study in question is characterized as a field research, descriptive and qualitative approach. The sample consisted of five women with an income equivalent to the middle-class families and all with higher education, each representing one of five family configurations determined for this study: nuclear family, recomposed family, family ownership, family and single parent family expanded. Data collection was conducted through interviews, following a script unstructured. The interviews were recorded and then the interviews were transcribed, and the results analyzed using content analysis. The results from the analysis show that for middle-class women representatives of the five family configurations, the work presents itself not only as a means of provision for the families, but as an opportunity for emancipation. Even the middle class, the overlap of functions is a reality and the needs of the family may be factors involved in the process of professional growth. In search of an identity that addresses their needs and family, many of them balancing features culturally imposed on women development of the subject, with the acquisition of behavior patterns of the modern woman, heavily steeped in tradition, sexism and religion. After analyzing the results, it was observed that even for middle-class women and higher education level, cultural some remains are still part of family relationships and marital and work is the vehicle of emancipation most striking, though I can bring different implications for women that need to manage your home and family.
