The Distaff Side, framed

"Here, I have depicted the activities of women in a Mexican kitchen. A pot of beans is cooking on the charcoal fire. The woman standing stirs the pot and prepares to add some herbs. The little girl sitting on a box is fanning the flame with a straw fan, while the dog sleeps by the warmth of the fire. In the background, a mother is showing her daughter how to pat the round tortillas, while the grandmother in the foreground is grinding the meal on a stone metate. As she is working, the youngest in the family has gone to sleep, wrapped in the grandmother's rebozo." (JC in AAA Bulletin)
