Abstract
The life-stories presented in Every Woman is a World: Interviews with Women of Chiapas feature a broad spectrum of women who have almost all grown up in Chiapas during the first half of the 20th century and who have lived through decisive historic moments such as the Mexican Revolution, the devastating pandemic of the Spanish Flu or the violent land redistribution under the rule of President Lázaro Cárdenas. Mostly, however, the book focuses on the very personal events that marked these women’s lives: the relationship with their parents, first love, marriage, childbirth and the loss of close kin.
