Texas Press source books in Anthropology. First edition. This study documents the important, necessary role of market women in Peru's dependent capitalist economy. Providing an overview of Peruvian history, Florece Babb focuses on the daily lives and work of the market women and their strategies of combining their emergent productive and traditional reproductive roles. She also traces how the economic condition of these women and their families has declined over the last ten years.
