- Description
- In this publication Chiapanec women between ages of 60 and 108 are interviewed. They present the life stories of twenty-eight women, well-to-do, urban ladinas of European descent, mixed race, low-income mestizas, and indigenous Maya from the highlands and Lacandon rainforest. As the women tell their stories, they shed light on major historical events as well as the personal dramas of daily life.
