It also brings out to the open what challenges they face and what strategies they use to adopt and survive in these occupations.Long distance bus driving is a new phenomenon introduced to women who are living in a society where gender roles are instilled at a very young age and maintained though out life. Hence, defiance of these societal expectations renders you to be a "deviant".
