The book explores the various stages of the Mexica woman’s life. Miriam López Hernández analyzes the mythology, the archaeological discoveries, and the codices and sixteenth-century chronicles with perfect ease as she describes the conduct expected of women and the possibilities for their lives according to Mexica norms and ideals. This insightful work rescues the contributions of Mexica women from oblivion contributions which, though they may not have been deemed worthy of recognition and prestige in their own day, played an essential part in shaping and consolidating the social structures of the Mexica Empire.

Work Description
De mujeres y diosas aztecas es un recorrido por las distintas etapas de la vida de la mujer mexica. Miriam López analiza la mitología, los descubrimientos arqueológicos, los códices y las crónicas del siglo XVI con una naturalidad intrínseca para dar a conocer los posibles destinos y el comportamiento esperado de una mujer de acuerdo con las normas e ideales mexicas. Este perspicaz trabajo rescata las contribuciones femeninas que, si bien no fueron meritorias de reconocimiento y prestigio en su época, sí jugaron un papel fundamental en la conformación y consolidación de las estructuras sociales del Imperio mexica.
