This volume counters the stereotype that Indian women are without history. Neither silent nor invisible, women of early Mexico were active participants in society and critically influenced the direction history would take. This collection of essays by leading scholars in Mexican ethnohistory, edited by Susan Schroeder, Stephanie Wood, and Robert Haskett, examines the life experiences of Indian women in preconquest and colonial Mexico.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“A welcome addition to the colonial Mexican bibliography, both as a supplementary textbook for university teaching and as a scholarly resource. . . . The book’s fourteen essays are distinguished by their regional foci and cluster thematically around women in the family, inheritance, marital patterns, and sexuality as well as women’s roles as economic producers and active participants in religious movements and open rebellions in the context of Iberian colonialism.”—American Historical Review

“This volume takes the reader on a most rewarding voyage of rediscovery of Indian womanhood in colonial Mexico. . . . Without having to argue any brand of historical feminism, or strictly adhering to anyWestern theoretical conceptualization, the authors succeed in putting together a compelling array of information that both fascinates and informs.”—Journal of Latin American Studies

SUPER INTERESTING BOOK!

if you want to know more about the Spanish conquest and how women changed the history of Mexico this book is for you!... Most of the time women are not named in history, but in Mesoamerican history, women were very important in their society. I loved this book, has many stories of great Aztec women that made a difference in history!

I totally recomend it!

Great sources and very refreshing interpretation on women's roles in Mexica society. I particularly liked Susan Kellogg's research on Tenochca Women and their participation in the uprise against the invaders.She describes how women's roles were ignored by the Spanish and their representation in original sources are very obscured by the machismo of the Europeans.

5.0 out of 5 stars An exploration of life on the ground after the Conquista
Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2007
This collection of scholarly essays, mostly relating to Nahuas in the Valley of Mexico but containing some pieces on Mayan-speaking communities in Yucatan, should be very helpful to students, studied and amateur, of the American-Hispano cultures following the Spanish assault on these areas. All the selections relate directly to the lives of women in these areas, as the title would lead you to expect, but readers will find that this approach sheds light on the lives of common people generally and the social structures as seen from the below. Readers do not need to belong to one or another school of women's studies to enjoy the book and profit from it. Writing style is mostly very straightforward and in fact even vividly concrete, with little academiotic harangue.

I got hold of this book in the course of Nahuatl language study, and several of the essays were in fact valuable for this purpose. Generally, the writers assume that readers will pay close attention to Nahuatl, Mayan and Spanish language elements, but it is not necessary to actually have a background in these languages to use the work.
