An approach to lingering views on single, plebeian women in Latin American historiography and specifically Mexico. Major revelations that single women in lower echelons of society in early to mid-colonial Mexico were able to transcend class and race barriers in spite of poverty and unfavorable social circumstances.--Provided by publisher.
