Notes This article deals with some aspects of social life in Algerian rural society in the Ottoman era, especially those related to its system of government based on the group, which made this society, with its tribal organization, characterized by social cohesion and the rule of advice. Relationships between the members of these rural societies were also based on interdependence, cooperation and solidarity, as a member of the tribal community in need of help could not be left without extending a helping hand to him, whether it was related to his economic or family activity, and even more than that, work was Solidarity is often organized in the form of collective action in which a group of people contribute, whether for the benefit of the group or the benefit of the individual. It is called tawiza. This rural society was known, with its social structure between men and women, and according to their categories, with a division of roles between them, which created that integration between them to overcome life’s obstacles. Some of them were based on economic, social, and even military work in times of need. However, women, like men, had additional roles to those for which they were originally created, including childbearing, raising children, and serving the home.
