    WORKING WOMAN OF MANILA IN THE 19TH CENTURY

    The work documents the life of gainfully employed women in the 19th century. Seven
    occupations of women were studied, namely, the cigarreras (tobacco-factory workers),
    the matronas titulares (licensed midwives), the maestras (teachers), the criadas (female
    domestic workers), the tenderas and vendadoras (store owners and vendors),
    the costureras and bordadoras (seamstresses and embroiderers), and the mujeres
    publicas (prostitutes).

    With women often absent or marginalized in the pages of history, the study attempts to unravel
    through archival sources and other non-documentary sources like literature and iconography
    the life of these working women. Despite the meager archival materials on women and more
    specifically working women, this study prides itself in having used primary sources to document
    working Filipino women during the Spanish period.
