The Gendered Worlds of Latin American Women Workers

"This work portrays the richly textured world of twentieth-century working women. They recall their memories of labor in male-dominated factories where they challenged pervading paternalistic attitudes. Their moving and intimate narratives are aptly contextualized by a group of historians deeply committed to creating a gendered view of a field previously dominated by men's views and memories. A splendid collection."--Asuncion Lavrin, Arizona State University
