Approaches to everyday life of women in the Yaqui Valley, Sonora, Mexico

Women studies had been a limited subject, particularly in the Sonoran research, where is evident that they lack of historical approaches. But in the rural area is worst, because the analysis of colonization process of the Yaqui Valley is based in the distribution of land as the main subject. This article recovers the characteristics of everyday life of some women that live in the farming cooperative Jose Maria Morelos (in Cajeme, Sonora). It is an important view of the conditions experienced during the 20th century. The results of the research are the outcome of interviews and ethnography. We were interested in these central aspects, childhood, engagement, marriage and field work, which are aspects that contribute to forge their identity as women.
