The social history of gender relations and sexuality in Puerto Rico is the topic of the present article. The author examines the reconceptualization of gender and sexuality forming an integral part of the newly self-conscious working class politics and culture which emerged in the first decades of the twentieth century following the U.S. occupation in 1898. The development of Puerto Rican labor movement, the new working-class and feminist struggles, gender hierarchies within the left and finally the ideas of the feminist working-class intellectual Luisa Capetillo are topics explored in the study.
