Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

The authors--a psychotherapist and a psychologist--have written a book expressly for Latinas, taking as their premise the idea that there is a profound clash between traditional values and culture and the opportunities and expectations Latinas find in the U.S. At the core of the Maria paradox is the concept of marianismo, already defined in academic literature but, according to the authors, made available to the general reader for the first time in this book. Marianismo is for Latinas what machismo is for Latino men, a set of cultural expectations that can define and also limit behavior. Among the "10 commandments" of marianismo are "do not forget a woman's place," "do not forsake tradition," "do not be single, self-supporting, or independent minded," and "do not wish for more in life than being a housewife." Using exercises and case studies, the authors examine the impact of marianismo on mother-daughter relationships, workplace issues, sexual behavior, marriage, and parenting. They then discuss avenues for change. A useful and readable book for most libraries serving Hispanic populations. Mary Ellen Quinn
