Hiebert, Martha
- Abstract
The author recalls her experiences interviewing Old Colony Mennonite women in Mennonite colonies in Bolivia. The article discusses the social conditions of Old Colony Mennonite women, particularly their mental and physical health, work responsibilities, and giving birth. It also discusses the memories of an older Old Colony Mennonite woman, particularly her experiences moving to Bolivia in the mid-1990s, the difficult work of establishing a new colony, and her impressions concerning a question about being discouraged and lonely during the adjustment period of living in a new colony.
