Labors Appropriate to Their Sex

"This is a work of superior scholarship on an important but neglected subject. Hutchison has written from a new perspective that reflects considerable and original research in a wide variety of documents. Representing a new wave in feminist studies, this multifaceted book reveals the gendered character of Chilean discourse on work, poverty, activism, and reform."--Peter Winn, author of "Americas: The Changing Face of Latin America and the Caribbean"
