Gender and Citizenship in Cardenista México. Review of Jocelyn Olcott's <em>Revolutionary Women in Postrevolutionary Mexico</em> (Durham and London: Duke University Press, 2006)
Resumen
Jocelyn Olcott’s insightful monograph, Revolutionary Women in Postrevolutionary Mexico, expands our understanding of women’s activism and popular mobilization during the Lázaro Cárdenas years. In this period, the meanings of Mexican femininity and the rights and responsibilities of citizenship became contested discourses through which some Mexican women sought to construct a postrevolutionary society that addressed their needs.
