Working Women in Mexico City

"Susie Porter takes a new look at industrialization in Mexico that focuses on women wage earners across the workforce, from factory workers to street vendors." "Working Women in Mexico City offers a new look at this transitional era to reveal that industrialization, in some ways more than revolution, brought about changes in the daily lives of Mexican women. Industrialization brought women into new jobs, prompting new public discussions of the moral implication of their work. Drawing on a wealth of material, from petitions of working women to government factory inspection reports, Porter shows how a shifting cultural understanding of working women informed labor relations, social legislation, government institutions, and ultimately the construction of female citizenship."--BOOK JACKET.
