The article discusses social conditions for Hispanic women living in Carbon County, Utah. The authors discuss ethnic conflicts due to the influx of immigrants, including Mexican Americans, into the county to work in the mining industry and note how the county's Mexican American community has expanded. They comment on how Carbon County Mexican Americans were affected by the Great Depression and local discrimination. Due to unemployment and mining accidents, many Hispanic women sought employment to support their families. The assimilation of Hispanic women into the Catholic Church in Carbon County and their efforts to promote equality and inclusion in the church are described.
