Reviews

A nuanced study of how revolutionary politics tried, but ultimately failed, to eradicate prostitution in Mexico City because of its reluctance to promote changes in masculine sexuality and its refusal to include women, particularly prostitutes, in its revolutionary family. This book makes a significant and original contribution to Mexican histonography, one that will challenge the fundamental willingness of revolutionary leaders to take gender issues seriously. - Donna J. Guy, Dhio State University
