When I was doing a Spanish Language Week in Tahoe a few years ago, there was a really interesting cultural breakout session about Machismo in Mexico. The speaker also talked about Machisma, and how they can go together. It was basically the roll that many women play in a kind of crazy dance between Mexican men and women. It might be interesting to look up Machisma and how it fits into all of this. I wish I remembered more details of the talk.
Wow, it sounds like a really powerful book. Thank you so much for the recommendation, Dylan! I'm on a mission to read more books by Mexican female writers and this fits the bill like a glove. I will definitely be reading this!

Relevant (and excellent) book: Hurricane Season, Fernanda Melchor
