Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)
This study examines the role of prostitution during the Mexican Revolution Era (1910 – 1920) in the altering of gender roles for women along the border cities of Baja California. The significance of this research will deliver insight to the gender roles and contributions to society of this marginalized group. Historical source material (Documents, artifacts, paintings, etc.) offers limited biased information about prostitutes as individuals. The goal of this research is to provide information to alter the discourse of prostitution from being depicted as a duality of moral or immoral to how prostitution reflects a society’s views on sexuality.
