Ask the community. American women in Mexico City

Abstract

This paper aims to review some aspects of women's participation in the history of American immigration during the twentieth century.1 This is a brief account of the role of women in shaping the community in the capital. The enthusiasm and commitment that many of them devoted to the internal organization of their group of origin has been recorded in the monthly Bulletin of the American Society of Mexico (AMSOC), one of the organizations of Americans since its inception in August 1942 she has served as a means of communication and community liaison. However, the female experience has not generated particulares2 studies and their contribution has been registered in the history of their own group. Some gained notoriety for writing about his life in Mexico; other, on which I will elaborate here not have been much more visible because they joined the field of cultural production and contributed to the spread of culture mexic na abroad; therefore, have been the subject of several studies. Apart from these examples, as already stated, immigration from that country from the experience of women has been largely unexplored.
