Abstract
Women’s suffrage, temperance, education, labor, sports and prenatal health were all aspects that Methodist organizations focused on in post-revolutionary Mexico. The network of Methodists girls’ schools in Mexico, many of which were founded in the 1870s, acted as strong mobilizing structures in the struggle for women’s rights. Through the lens of Methodist women’s education, this article analyzes the interaction between transnational suffrage, sports, Mexican nationalism, and debates about the place of Protestantism in Mexico from 1917-1953. It particularly focuses on North American missionary and educator Clara M. Hill and the founder of The Sole Front for Women’s Rights and Mexican journalist Margarita Robles de Mendoza.
