- Summary
- "This book presents an overview of the varied experiences of women in colonial Spanish and Portuguese America. Beginning with the cultures that would produce the Latin American world, Professor Socolow traces the effects of conquest, colonization, and settlement on colonial women. She also examines the expectations, responsibilities, and limitations facing women in their varied roles, stressing the ways in which race, social status, occupation, and space altered women's social and economic realities."--Jacket.
