Su questo libro

Recensione

'... provides a well-informed, wide-ranging account of the varied roles of women in the colonial societies of Spanish America and Brazil.' John Fisher, The English Historical Review

'This is a thoroughly researched yet approachable introductory survey of the female experience in Latin America from the late fifteenth to the early nineteenth centuries.' The British Bulletin

'This solid, unpretentious study is jargon-free and presented in a clear, readable style ... The Women of Colonial Latin America is a compact and entertaining analysis of what is perhaps an understudied topic in a neglected period. Both the general reader and the interested historian will derive much pleasure and benefit from it.' Bulletin of Spanish Studies
