“Artes mujeriles” y estereotipos de género en el México del siglo xix: presencias en la prensa femenina

Abstract

This essay is an account of perceptions of sewing, embroidery, and weaving in 19th Century Mexico, where these practices were defined as “artes mujeriles” or “women’s art.” The article examines the way in which these arts are discussed in various 19th Century publications, focusing on the case of the novel titled La Quijotita y su prima (1818-1819). It seeks to point out the ideas underlying the understanding of this kind of craft as characteristic of women, which led to their having a prominent role in their lives and education. Also, it examines some of the points of view that have determined their relation with the artistic sphere and Art Studies.
