{"product_id":"women-in-mexico-julia-tu-n-pablos-9780292781610","title":"Women in Mexico: A Past Unveiled","description":"\u003cp\u003eThroughout Mexico's history, women have been subjected to a dual standard: exalted in myth, they remain subordinated in their social role by their biology. But this dualism is not so much a battle between the sexes as the product of a social system. The injustices of this system have led Mexican women to conclude that they deserve a better world, one worth struggling for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished originally in Spanish as \u003ci\u003eMujeres en M騙ico: Una historia olvidada\u003c\/i\u003e, this work examines the role of Mexican women from pre-Cort駸 to the 1980s, addressing the interplay between myth and history and the gap between theory and practice. Pointing to such varied prototypes as the Virgin of Guadalupe, La Malinche, and Sor Juana, Tun contrasts what these women represent with more realistic but less-exalted counterparts such as Josefa Ortiz de Dom匤guez, La G?ra Rodr刕uez, and Juana Bel駭 Guti駻rez de Mendoza. She also discusses the identity transformation by which indigenous women come to see themselves as Mexicanas, and analyzes such issues as women's economic dislocation in the labor force, education, and self-image.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn challenging the illusion that historians have created of women in Mexico's history, Tun hopes to recover feminism--with its strengths and weaknesses, its vision of the world that is both intellectual and full of feeling. By examining the social world of Mexico, she also hopes to determine those situations that cause oppression, exploitation, and marginalization of women.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julia Tun Pablos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 029278161X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780292781610\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.01h x 6.05w x 0.51d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUniv PR Books for Public Libry\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2000 pg. 19 - Recommended\/Special Interest","brand":"Julia Tun Pablos","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946392355071,"sku":"9780292781610","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c1b59cf2-6c91-44ec-a906-2755f88a3082.jpg?v=1681512886","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/women-in-mexico-julia-tu-n-pablos-9780292781610","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
