Chapter 14 in Women Reclaiming Sustainable Livelihoods, 2012, pp 213-219 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Indigenous and peasant women are related to land and territory in many different ways. There is the traditional understanding of femininity and identity linked to the land, specifically the fertility of the land. There is also the image of women toiling on the land, and now in Mexico the gruelling daily act of women walking for hours in search for water due construction of dams on their indigenous land.
