Confronting Change, Challenging Tradition Women in Latin American History

Understanding the role of women in Latin American history demands a full examination of their activities in the region's political, economic, and domestic spheres. Toward this end, historian Gertrude M. Yeager has assembled the multidisciplinary collection Confronting Change, Challenging Tradition. The essays in this volume explore the ways in which Latin American women have shaped-and have been shaped by-the traditional practices and ideologies of their cultures. The selections are arranged in two sections: Culture and the Status of Women, and Reconstructing the Past.Yeager, Gertrude M. is the author of 'Confronting Change, Challenging Tradition Women in Latin American History' with ISBN 9780842024792 and ISBN 0842024794.
