These firsthand accounts from female foreign travelers bring a number of diverse Latin American women into focus. Questions of gender difference, family life, religion, women's labor, and education are addressed, in addition to the attitudes, customs, practices, and interrelationships of men and women within the structure of Latin American societies. "Women through Women's Eyes" documents class, racial, ethnic, and geographic differences, and touches upon the nature of cross-cultural relations between Latin American and foreign visitors.
