Women refashioned their lives by seeking relief from bad marriages through divorce courts and preparing for new employment opportunities through vocational education.

These essays illuminate emerging practices of femininity and masculinity, stressing the formation of subjectivity through civil-society mobilizations, spectatorship and entertainment, and locales such as workplaces, schools, churches, and homes.

The conclusion considers the Mexican experience alongside those of other postrevolutionary societies, offering a critical comparative perspective.
