"This path-breaking book fundamentally changes our view of the Mexican Revolution as a man-made affair. The women who struggled against patriarchal authority as workers, teachers, feminist activists, soldiers, peasants, students, and mothers come alive in these pages--as do their adversaries. The chapters brilliantly mesh theoretical analysis with fine-grained historical accounts of gendered challenges to Mexico's social order. This book's importance reaches far beyond the Mexican case as it grapples with universal questions of authority, gender, and revolution."--Elizabeth Dore, author of "Myths of Modernity: Peonage and Patriarchy in Nicaragua"…mehr
