MARTIN DIAZ, Josefa Guadalupe. Associated in the Unequal Struggle: Protestant Women and their Social Work in the Southeast of Mexico. Península [online]. 2018, vol.13, n.1, pp.15-35. ISSN 1870-5766.

The article presents the social, political and religious circumstances that led to the incorporation of women's evangelical associations into Mexican religious space, a result of the Protestant churches and congregations founded in this country in the last decades of the nineteenth century and the first third of the twentieth century. I will also describe these association's main postulates, objectives and forms of organization, in order to explain the phenomenon of extension and development in the southeast of Mexico, that accommodated, and at the same time provided a space for the re-elaboration and re-socialization of women in a process of re-definition of feminine identities and subjectivities.

Palabras llave : Protestants; women; women's associations; congregations.
