This groundbreaking study documents the important, necessary role of marketwomen in Peru's capitalist economy. Babb focuses on the daily lives and work of the marketwomen and their strategies for combining their emergent productive and traditional reproductive roles. She also traces how the economic condition of these women and their families has declined over a 10 year period.
