Our Lady of Guadalupe is the most important religious symbol of
Mexico and one of the most powerful female icons of Mexican
culture. In this study, based on research done among
second-generation Mexican-American women, Rodriguez examines the
role the symbol of Guadalupe has played in the development of these
women. She goes beyond the thematic and religious implications of
the symbol to delve into its relevance to their daily lives.
Rodriguez's study offers an important reinterpretation of one of
the New World's most potent symbols. Her conclusions dispute the
common perception that Guadalupe is a model of servility and
suffering. Rather, she reinterprets the symbol of Guadalupe as a
liberating and empowering catalyst for Mexican-American women.
