Summary/Abstract: The article is based on an oral history project carried out in 2002–2003. The results were published in the volume “Voices of Their Own: Oral History Interviews of Women”. The text analyzes four life stories from Gotse Delchev region: from the villages Luzhnitsa (three) and Kornitsa (one). It follows the life trajectory of women, who have made the difficult choice to be different in a community in which girls usually seldom leave their birth places and do not have chance to get higher education. The double standards, gender hierarchy and asymmetry in the local attitude towards girls and boys in the isolated village, personal disappointments and/or satisfaction are told through the stories of Feride Zarbasheva, Feride Kissio, Fama Byalova and Naila.
