For a Just and Better World: Engendering Anarchism in the Mexican Borderlands, 1900-1938 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780252086106)

Caritina Pi Montalvo personified the vital role played by Mexican women in the anarcho-syndicalist movement. Sonia Hern疣dez tells the story of how Pi and other Mexicanas in the Gulf of Mexico region fought for labor rights both locally and abroad in service to the anarchist ideal of a worldwide community of workers. An international labor broker, Pi never left her native Tamaulipas. Yet she excelled in connecting groups in the United States and Mexico. Her story explains the conditions that led to anarcho-syndicalism's rise as a tool to achieve labor and gender equity. It also reveals how women's ideas and expressions of feminist beliefs informed their experiences as leaders in and members of the labor movement.

A vivid look at a radical activist and her times, For a Just and Better World illuminates the lives and work of Mexican women battling for labor rights and gender equality in the early twentieth century.
