"A magnificent book - certainly the best and most innovative we have on gender, nation building, and market expansion in nineteenth century Mexico. . . . It will be a model for gender studies. It is also a model for studies integrating history at the local, regional, national, and international levels."-Mary Kay Vaughan, author of Portrait of a Young Painter: Pepe Zuniga and Mexico City?s Rebel Generation "This modern biography of Juana Catarina Romero from a gender perspective is original due to its very structure: The author combines two axes, the thematic and the chronological, and uses several methodologies such as regional history, microhistory, education and culture, public health, and daily life. The management of biographical time with historical time is another of Francie Chassen-Lopez's achievements."-Milada Bazant, author of Laura Mendez de Cuenca: Mexican Feminist, 1853-1928
