A history of women's political organizing and state formation in Mexico before and during the populist regime of Cardenas, challenging assumptions that all Mexican women were conservative and anti-revolutionary.

Jocelyn Olcott is the Andrew W. Mellon Assistant Professor of History at Duke University.
Reviews
“Jocelyn Olcott’s book combines impressive original research, lucid exposition, and keen insight. Three valuable case studies offer broad comparative analysis informed by telling details, examples, and anecdotes. Above all, the book successfully blends innovative women’s history with big, old, unresolved questions about popular mobilization, state-building, and the rise and fall of Cardenismo.”—Alan Knight, author of The Mexican Revolution
“This book is extraordinarily important as a work of feminist political history. It’s a breathtakingly ambitious tour of Mexican women’s movements and feminist politics that will stand as a model for future histories of Latin American feminism and state formation.”—Heidi Tinsman, author of Partners in Conflict: The Politics of Gender, Sexuality, and Labor in the Chilean Agrarian Reform, 1950–1973
“This book is a valuable addition to the growing literature gendering Mexico's revolution. Its depth and theoretical grounding raise important comparisons for scholars of history and politics throughout the Americas.”
-- Ann S. Blum Gender & History
