Abstract
Esta investigación se centra en el estudio de las labores ejercidas por las mujeres durante el asentamiento en la Colonia del Nuevo Santander, territorio conquistado a mediados del siglo XVIII. Se analizan fuentes primarias como el Informe del Estado General de las Fundaciones de 1757, elaborado por el Capitán Tienda de Cuervo, y el censo de población de la Ciudad de México de 1790. A través del análisis comparativo de ambos documentos, se identifican patrones de invisibilización del trabajo femenino y sesgos en la forma en que se registraron las actividades de las mujeres, evidenciando su papel fundamental en la economía y sociedad coloniales, aunque escasamente reconocido por las categorías oficiales. Este estudio contribuye a reinterpretar los silencios documentales desde una perspectiva crítica, considerando las limitaciones propias de las fuentes de la época.
This research focuses on the study of women's labor during the settlement of the Colony of Nuevo Santander,a territory conquered in the mid-18th century. It is based on primary sources such as the 1757 General State of Foundations Report by Captain Tienda de Cuervo, along with the 1790 population census of Mexico City. Through a comparative analysis of both documents, the study identifies patterns of invisibilization and bias in the recording of women’s work, revealing their crucial yet underrecognized role in the colonial economy and society. The research offers a critical interpretation of documentary silences, considering the structural limitations of the sources within their historical context.Key Words.
