Gender and the Mexican Revolution: Yucatán women and the realities of patriarchy

Abstract

The state of Yucatan is commonly considered to have been a hotbed of radical feminism during the Mexican Revolution. Challenging this romanticized view, this book examines the revolutionary reforms designed to break women's ties to tradition and religion, as well as the ways in which women shaped these developments
