Taking reference from the population of 1807, this article has as purpose to penetrate in the social fabric of the urban center (Popayán) through a survey applied to the home-family. The results point out at units formed by couples but at the women whose head of the family and the single mother population which was one of the most visible phenomena in the urban profile of Popayán. Al though in this group they are some powerful "doñas", widows and single women, we found a bigger number of women head of the family than was among the mestizos, mulattresses and black women where many of them lived in the marginalidad, especially the widows.

Tomando como referencia el padrón de población de 1807, este artículo tiene el propósito de penetrar en el tejido so cial del centro urbano (Popayán), a través de una encuesta aplicada a la casa-familia. Los resultados señalan que al lado de las unidades formadas por parejas, las mujeres a la cabeza de las casas y el "madresolterismo" eran uno de los fenómenos más visibles en el perfil urbano de Popayán. Si bien en este grupo se encuentran algunas poderosas doñas, viudas y solteras, el número mayor de mujeres encabezando una casa se encontraban en tre las mestizas, mulatas y negras; muchas de ellas vivían en la marginalidad, especialmente las viudas.
