Street vendedors and seamstresses: creators for the feminist historiography of Mexican cinema

Abstract

 The overturning of art towards protest and activism, has an important pillar in cinema, especially in which it was made by women, in the second half of the twentieth century, as an uprising against the marginalization and oppression that the filmic environment had imposed on their films. This article reviews the films We Don’t Ask for a Trip to the Moon and Street Vendors as a protest and claim to the violence experienced in Latin America.
