  • Gender, Work, and Working-Class Women's Culture in the Veracruz Coffee Export Industry, 1920–1945

  • Heather Fowler-Salamini
  • Journal:
    International Labor and Working-Class History / Volume 63 / April 2003

  • This article highlights the heterogeneity within the Mexican women's labor force after the 1910 Mexican Revolution by profiling the coffee sorters in the Central Veracruz export industry. It contends that working women were not entirely subordinated to the patriarchal culture usually found in the workplace despite the seasonal and low-skilled nature of their work. Their work experience, ability to support their families, and the new social networks on and off the shop floor contributed to the shaping of their dual identity as women and as workers. In their life histories, these working women sought to construct an alternative working-class women's culture based on the meaning and importance of women's work, which reconfigured provincial conceptions of gender and class.
