The female role is usually stereotyped; however, over time, women have progressively acquired greater empowerment and prominence in society, which has allowed them to perform various roles at the same time: student, worker, mother, and spouse. This article aims to reveal women’s perception of the multiplicity of roles and their current social impact. A qualitative, phenomenological, and hermeneutic study was carried out, with a population of 19 students. Semistructured interviews were conducted on sociodemographic aspects and experiences of the students in their roles. Their experience in the roles was qualified as hard, complex, and difficult, and they attribute it meanings of responsibility, commitment, and sacrifice. Feelings of pain, sadness, and frustration prevailed. The feelings they experienced the most were satisfaction and empowerment, and they perceived their time was scarce. Women’s experiences in the exercise of their roles turned out to be complex, loaded with mixed feelings and effects historically marked by gender; however, the satisfaction it generates in their personal growth prevails. Nonetheless, in women’s perspective, the social repercussion that this generates relies upon the neglect of their children’s upbringing.
