I am confused on what you want us to do here?
My answer to this would be
Market Economy

The theme which is best reinforced by the given excerpt is that women generally felt detached from each other because of the societal roles thrust upon them. This can be seen especially from the sentence in the passage which states that, ' we live close together and we live far apart'. 'Live apart' in this sentence implies that there is no real close relationship among the women even though they are neighbors[ live together].
It would be a character(s) who is against the main character, an opponent.
