Irma’s story serves as a stark reminder of the intersectional oppression and systemic violence that profoundly impact women’s reproductive healthcare, especially those in marginalized rural areas. The narrative powerfully captures the intricate web of social, historical, and infrastructural factors that shape women’s experiences during pregnancy and childbirth in Mexico. She really does a great job of underscoring the urgent need to address these underlying issues. I’m really interested in reading more on Dixon’s work, it’s leading me to understand on a deeper level the need for addressing the systemic challenges and inequalities that continue to affect maternal health in Mexico and other developing countries.
