PORTER, Susie S.. Orientación: Building a feminist agenda for working women in 1920s Mexico City. Faces de Eva. Estudos sobre a Mulher [online]. 2025, n.53, pp.52-73.  Epub 12-Jan-2026. ISSN 0874-6885.  https://doi.org/10.34619/0fin-ccus.

The effervescence of women’s activism in 1920s Mexico City occurred within the context of broad shifts in women’s workforce participation in factories, offices, and the service sector. While it was not the only source of their feminism, women’s work experiences informed their concerns, fed their activism, and gave shape to their organizational strategies. The emergence of a work-based feminist identity is visible, for example, in the public employee magazine Orientación (1922-1923). While at first glance some of their activities might have seemed frivolous, the contributors to Orientación built on those activities to develop a definition of feminism rooted in their workplace experiences and which they took to the major sites of women’s mobilization in 1920s and 1930s Mexico City.
