FELIX ROSAS, Hiram; ZUNIGA AMAYA, Heidy A.  and  SOLTERO CONTRERAS, María G.. Approaches to everyday life of women in the Yaqui Valley, Sonora, Mexico. Culturales [online]. 2016, vol.4, n.2, pp.103-133. ISSN 2448-539X.

Women studies had been a limited subject, particularly in the Sonoran research. It is evidently the lacking of historical approaches, but it is worst in the rural area, because the analysis of colonization of Yaqui Valley is based in the distribution of land as the main subject. This article recovers the characteristics of everyday life of some women that live in the José María Morelos (Cajeme, Sonora), a farming cooperative. It is an important view of the conditions experienced during the 20th century. The results of the research are the products of interviews and ethnography. We were interested in these central aspects, childhood, engagement, marriage and field work as constructors of their identity as women.
