From Angel to Office Worker
2019 Thomas McGann Award for best publication in Latin American Studies In late nineteenth-century Mexico a woman's presence in the home was a marker of middle-class identity. However, as economic conditions declined during the Mexican Revolution and jobs traditionally held by women disappeared, a growing number of women began to look for work outside the domestic sphere. As these "angels of the home" began to take office jobs, middle-class identity became more porous. To understand how office workers shaped middle-class identities in Mexico, From Angel to Office Worker examines the material conditions of women's work and analyzes how women themselves reconfigured public debates over their e...
Women's Suffrage in the Americas
The first hemispheric study to trace how women in the Americas obtained the right to vote, Women's Suffrage in the Americas pushes back against the misconception that women's movements originated in the United States. The volume brings Latin American voices to the forefront of English-language scholarship. Suffragists across the hemisphere worked together, formed collegial networks to support each other's work, and fostered advances toward women gaining the vote over time and space from one country to the next. The collection as a whole suggests several models by which women in the Americas gained the right to vote: through party politics; through decree, despite delays justified by women's supposed conservative politics; through conservative defense of traditional roles for women; and within the context of imperialism. However, until now historians have traditionally failed to view this common history through a hemispheric lens.

Diplomáticas mexicanas
La desigualdad de género ha sido histórica y universal. Las mujeres han tenido que luchar por cada uno de sus derechos en todos los ámbitos, el diplomático no ha sido la excepción. Gracias al feminismo se inició el estudio de la historia con perspectiva de género, en los años sesenta del siglo pasado. Con esta óptica, nos dimos a la tarea de convocar a miembros del servicio exterior, de la academia y del ámbito cultural de nuestro país, para estudiar las acciones de las primeras diplomáticas mexicanas y visibilizar sus acciones. La obra que presentamos contiene las semblanzas de diez destacadas mujeres que fueron protagonistas de la política exterior de México a lo largo del si...
