| Sumario: | The aim of this research was to learn how women’s participation in coffee production in the Otomí-Tepehua area, Hidalgo impacts their individual and collective empowerment processes and their close relationships. From a qualitative approach and based on the Rowlands (1997) Three-Dimensional Empowerment Model, ethnographic interviews were conducted with women from 16 family units in the region. The results show that women’s participation in the coffee production, together with the diverse social reproduction activities they carry out, strengthen their self-confidence to influence other non-domestic spaces and groups. In their close relationships, no significant changes oriented to the transformation of gender structures were observed. However, it is evident that the notion of community is relevant to confront the class problems they face. In collective terms, the information analyzed is not conclusive to argue that women are representative as political subject. Women’s health problems, derived from the overload of work due to the social reproduction and production activities they carry out to sustain family life, are exposed. |
