Examining the role of women and gender ideology during the pre-contact and colonial periods in Latin America, Navarro looks at early indigenous societies as well as the Spanish and the Portuguese who claimed the "New World." Sánchez Korrol considers the shifts in women's roles between the 1880s and 1930s and accompanying societal transformations.
