In the Mexican maquiladora industry, the string of US export-processing subsidiaries on the Mexican side of the border, women constitute the majority of workers. This comprehensive study of the maquilas in Mexicali, the capital of Baja California, analyzes the roles of these women workers and dispels the myth that they are docile and downtrodden.
