"Argues that not all women in colonial Costa Rica fit the stereotype of beata tied to kitchen, 'who made love while saying the beads on a rosary.' Fictionalizes material from notary and church records, including stories of orphans robbed and marital promises breached, lost honor, adultery and incest. Worth reading"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
