PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This book is a historical study of the relationships between gender and power in Mexican popular culture. The historical research is anchored in the late colonial period (ca. 17601821), and I present a portrait of an era rather than a study of change over time. Especially in the concluding section, however, I also pursue a dialogue with more recent Mexican history, with long-term questions of continuity and change, and with theory.
