Abstract

Since the mid 1840’s, women’s labour in the tobacco industry of Mexico City has been threatened by the irruption of machines, a situation which worsened as the century progressed. This article analyzes to what extent industrialization, “dequalifi cation” and manual-work displacement have infl uenced the working conditions and resistance strategies of those women devoted to the production of cigars.
