Review of previous edition: 'A nuanced, well-balanced overview of all kinds of colonial Latin American women and every facet of their lives … [It] will appeal to historians in general and the general public and it should be very successful in undergraduate classes on Latin American women' Hispanic American Historical Review
Review of previous edition: 'A valuable introduction to the history of women in colonial Latin America, especially Spanish America, and will be particularly useful in introductory survey courses, making readily accessible the research and interpretive analyses of a generation of scholars.' The Americas
Review of previous edition: 'Tracing the history of Latin American women from 1492 until the independence era in the early nineteenth century might seem like a daunting task for writer and reader alike, but Socolow displays a striking ability to cut to the heart of the matter. In clear, concise prose she outlines major historical developments, notes exceptions and counter tendencies, and gives intriguing examples.' Journal of World History
