Abstract:
"Mexican anthropologist, one of the few theorists of radical feminism in the region, offers detailed examination of a 'feminist anthropology of women' (p. 831). Discusses status of women in patriarchal societies and identifies motherhood, sexuality, and religion as key components of female oppression. Main contribution of this work is its focus on five 'models' that typify female oppression: mother-wives, nuns, prostitutes, women prisoners, and demented women. Lagarde's thesis quickly became popular throughout Latin America"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
