In the first history of laywomen and the church in colonial Mexico,
Jessica L. Delgado shows how laywomen participated in and shaped
religious culture in significant ways by engaging creatively with
gendered theology about women, sin, and guilt in their interactions
with church sacraments, institutions, and authorities. Taking a
thematic approach, using stories of individuals, institutions, and
ideas, Delgado illuminates the diverse experiences of urban and
rural women of Indigenous, Spanish, and African descent. By
centering the choices these women made in their devotional lives
and in their relationships to the aspects of the church they
regularly encountered, this study expands and challenges our
understandings of the church's role in colonial society, the role
of religion in gendered and racialized power, and the role of
ordinary women in the making of colonial religious culture.
