Description: "A major work in the field of Mexican revolutionary and gender studies. Becker is an indefatigable fieldworker; the array and richness of her archival and oral sources is simply astonishing."--Gilbert M. Joseph, author of "Revolution from Without"
Review Quotes: "Becker offers some arresting examples, anecdotes and recollections, drawn from archival sources, and above all, oral interviews. The book sheds light on rural politics, the role of gender, revolutionary anticlericalism and popular Catholicism."--"Times Literary Supplement
