Contents: Introduction -- Chapter 1: The cigarreras -- Chapter 2: The vendedoras and the tenderas -- Chapter 3: The bordadoras and the costureras -- Chapter 4: Las criadas -- Chapter 5: Las maestras -- Chapter 6: Matronas titulares -- Chapter 7: Mujeres pùblicas -- Chapter 8: A glimpse of working women of manila in the nineteenth century.
"The work documents the lfe of gainfully employed women in the nineteenth century. Seven occupations of women were studied— namely, the cigarreras (tobacco factory workers), the matronas titulares (licensed midwives), the maestras (teachers), the criadas (female domestic workers), the tenderas and vendedoras (store owners and vendors), the costureras and bordadoras (seamstresses and embroiderers), and mujeres pùblicas (prostitutes).
With women often absent or marginalized in the pages of history, the study attempts to unravel, through archival sources and other nondocumentary sources like literature and iconography, the life of these working women. Despite the meager archival materials on women, and more specifically working women, this study prides itself in having used primary sources to document working Filipino women during the Spanish period." --Backcover
