From Out of the Shadows: Mexican Women in the United States.
Ruiz, Vicki L.
OAH Magazine of History, v10 n2 p15-18 Win 1996
Summarizes the experience of Mexican and Hispanic women in the United States from the 1540 Coronado expedition to the present. Fascinating historical details (for example, the Spanish government subsidized petticoats and stockings for 16th- century women settlers) help to dispel many simplistic stereotypes. Includes brief profiles of Hispanic women leaders. (MJP)
