Part 1 Introduction Part 2 Chapter 1: The Faces of Rebellion: Of the Sublime Mission of Mothers of Families: Hospital Morelos Part 14 Chapter 7: Por la liberacion de la mujer: Call to the Women of Mexico Part 20 Conclusion show more. Review quote Through nine impressively crafted essays, the authors investigate numerous and various ways women shaped revolutionary activism in Mexico from to Through innovative investigations of temperance workers, teachers, prostitutes, urban elite women, female military veterans, and other women, this important book reveals how the revolution created new opportunities for women to become social actors while broadening their contributions in areas traditionally reserved for women.
The essays reveal that as the government expanded its role in people's lives, crossing into sectors previously regarded as "the women's sphere," women became more influential in crafting the revolutionary agenda. An important consequence of the book is the recognition that additional critical investigations of women will reshape contemporary interpretations of the revolution.
Such an expanded analysis has had other significant results, including a broader interpretation of feminism in Mexico, the ways gender roles are considered and evaluated, and how women's history in Mexico might be more expansively studied. Advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals.
Highly suited for course adoption, and should be of interest to scholars ofmodern Mexican history The inventive use of a rich array of primary sources by almost all of the authors distinguishes this collection as a solis emirical contribution to the study of the diversity of women's experiences in post revolutionary Mexico. This volume should encourage a debate about how revolutionary ideology in Mexico placed women at the margins at the same time that mothers formed the core of Mexican modernity.
