Machismo, the male ideal so specific to Hispanic culture, is complemented by its corollary marianismo, the female ideal. Both are examined in this careful study, along with the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder that so often accompanies-and, in fact, overhangs-the lives of the women who have survived the abuse that machismo too often inflicts.
