Abstract
This is a study of Mexican American women who are innovators of social change in a small region in Texas located on the United States - Mexican border. This region, which is undergoing rapid and sometimes dramatic socioeconomic change, is called by Whiteford, Frontera (a pseudonym), encompassing a town of some 6,000 inhabitants plus an area of approximately 10 mile radius surrounding the town. In this work the author describes the physical setting and population of Frontera, external factors that have changed local conditions, and, in particular, those women who have responded to these changes by becoming innovators in terms of patterns of behavior, expectations, and goals.
