Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

The first identifiable female printer in Mexico was Jerónima Gutiérrez y Núñez, the wife (and widow) of Pablos. However, and not surprisingly, the majority of women occupied the same realms in the print shops of Mexico as they had in Europe, as the wives and widows of printers.
