Women in Mexico - A Past Unveiled

In challenging the illusion that historians have created of women in Mexico's history, Tuñ ó 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.
