Description 1 online resource (233 pages) Summary "Caritina Piña Montalvo personified the vital role played by Mexican women in the anarcho-syndicalist movement. Sonia Hernández tells the story of how Piña and other Mexicanas in the Gulf of Mexico region fought for labor rights both locally and abroad in service to the anarchist ideal of a worldwide community of workers. An international labor broker, Piña never left her native Tamaulipas. Yet she excelled in connecting groups in the United States and Mexico. Her story explains the conditions that led to anarcho-syndicalism's rise as a tool to achieve labor and gender equity. It also reveals how women's ideas and expressions of feminist beliefs informed their experiences as leaders in and members of the labor movement"-- Provided by publisher Notes Print version record Subject Anarchism -- Mexican-American Border Region -- History -- 20th century Anarchism -- Mexico, Gulf of -- History -- 20th century Employee rights -- Mexican-American Border Region -- History -- 20th century Employee rights -- Mexico, Gulf of -- History -- 20th century Women in the labor movement -- Mexican-American Border Region -- History -- 20th century Women in the labor movement -- Mexico, Gulf of -- History -- 20th century Women in the labor movement Employee rights Anarchism North America -- Mexican-American Border Region Gulf of Mexico Genre/Form History Form Electronic book ISBN 9780252052989 0252052986
