“By examining policies and institutions that focused on reproduction, sexuality, and medicine, Clark exposes the gendered relations at the nodes where political and social reforms reframed private behaviors as public concerns. Writing with sympathy for and insight into the lives of the historical actors peopling the book’s rich social landscape, Clark makes a valuable contribution to Andean gender history.”

“Kim Clark offers a deeply grounded, nuanced study of state modernization in postcolonial Ecuador. By addressing how women have been both objects and agents of Ecuador’s modernization project, and by revealing the emancipatory appeal as well as the contradictions of state programs that target women, Clark presents us with one of the richest historical analyses of state formation and its gendered articulations in Ecuadorian and Latin American studies to date.”

“[An] excellent study . . . Clark’s analysis is dedicated to exploring the lives of those women who had the nerve to breach the social conventions and the weight of conservative social norms that limited their professional choices.”
—Latin American Perspectives
“Clark demonstrates in this important contribution that gendered social policy in Ecuador, as elsewhere in Latin America, was a process that both reflected and shaped the country’s cultural formation.”
—Journal of Interdisciplinary History
