Works in ProgressGender and Power in Nineteenth Century Mexico: Juana Catarina Romero, Cacica of Tehuantepec (monograph approx. 250 pages).

In recent years, advances in gender and women’s history have begun to reveal women’s agency in the major processes of Mexican history. Nevertheless, the question of how women attain, maintain, and exercise power has yet to be explored. Although women were barred from voting and holding public office during her lifetime, in the 1890s, Juana Catarina Romero (1837-1915) emerged as the major textile importer, sugar refiner, and “modernizing” political boss (cacica) of the city of Tehuantepec in southern Mexico. This monograph traces Romero’s breathtaking transformation from humble cigarette vendor to culturally assimilated entrepreneur and behind-the-scenes politician that paralleled and intertwined with three crucial periods, the Liberal Reform, the Porfiriato, and the Revolution, during which Mexico experienced the construction of the nation-state and a capitalist economy. The analysis of Romero´s life will illuminate women’s participation in these processes and how they negotiated gender, ethnic, and class barriers. I argue that her success can be attributed to her political acumen and tenacious accumulation of economic and social influence and not to a supposed early love affair with Mexican dictator Porfirio Díaz, as previous historians have suggested. However, once in power and aligned with Díaz´s goals of “order and progress” and the ideals of social Catholicism, Romero sought to regulate and discipline Tehuantepec hoping to create a more orderly, productive, and beautiful urban space. Her philanthropoy, the educational, cultural, health, and urban reforms she sponsored, intended to modernize not only the physical space of the city but also the minds and bodies of its people. Nonetheless, cognizant of the devotion of Tehuanos to the Catholic Church and to their indigenous Zapotec customs and traditions, and anticipating their resistance to secular and racist modernizing projects espoused by Liberals, Romero proved adept in formulating and negotiating her own, modified version of modernity (4 chapters done, two to go).

Gender, War, and Body Politics in Mexico, 1810 -1920 My future project, on which I have already begun to publish, explores the relationship between gender and war in Mexico from the beginning of the struggle for Independence until the close of the Revolution in 1920. There are three distinct, yet intertwined, areas of analysis that need to be addressed in order to gain an understanding of this relationship: 1) the concrete impact of war on women and families, gender roles, gender relations, and ideologies; 2) the role of gendered metaphors and symbols as weapons in the war of words; and 3) the physical and ideological battles over women’s bodies. Beginning with my work on the state of Oaxaca, this study will also integrate the experience of women in war from various other states of Mexico, in particular Veracruz, Jalisco, and Michoacán.
