Hello,
Wouldn't the fact that women are playing an important role, have to do with there role in Mayan society. As far as I can tell, Mayan society is a more
egalitarian society and it is matrilineal as opposed to a patrilineal. Ithink this would probably explain the ability of the women to participate in such movements.
Just a thought!:)
