twice a minority : mexican american women • St. Louis, Missouri • Published In 1980 • Pages: 1-9

By: Melville, Margarita B..

Abstract

This paper is the introduction to documents nos. 47-66 in this file, which present a variety of data on Mexican American women collected by both Mexican American and Anglo American social scientists. The intent of these papers '…is to modify the stereotypes of Mexican American women found in much of the social science literature, which often views females as passive sufferers' (p. 1). The book, of which documents 47-66 are part, consists of three main sections: the first of these deals with several aspects of the status of womanhood; the second with gender roles and the changes that seem to be occurring in their conceptualization; and the third with the broad concept of cross cultural dynamics.
