Money, Love, and Fragile Reciprocity in Contemporary Havana, Cuba.
Among low‐income Havana residents, men frequently give money and other forms of material support to women in whom they have a romantic interest.

Although, traditionally, state socialism has embraced ideas of gender egalitarianism and women's independent income, the post‐Soviet period has seen the emergence of new inequalities, dependencies, and marginalizations that threaten earlier, socialist understandings of intimacy. The importance that women currently place on material wealth in terms of their views of a desirable partner highlights the gendered consequences of Cuba's contemporary economic transformations and their complex interplay with individuals' aspirations for love.
