What is one way Mexican gender relations in the Southwest changed after their conquest?
What will be an ideal response?
Varies. Prior to the arrival of Anglo-Americans, Mexican society in the Southwest was patriarchal. These characteristics tended to persist after their conquest. As Mexican Americans were reduced to a landless labor force, women along with men suffered the economic devastation that accompanied military conquest by a foreign power. The kinds of jobs available to men often required them to be taken away from home for extended periods of time and women began to take over tasks traditionally performed by men.
