...started out as simple farm wives tramping into town to sell their homegrown produce. Those with a taste for trade soon bought out other peasants and moved into business full time-offering everything from mangoes to a bewildering array of cosmetics, jewelry, shoes, shirts and shawls, plus whisky from Scotland, cutlery from Germany and nylons from the U.S. From the Caribbean and Central America down through the Andes to Chile, they serve as supermarket, liquor store and miniature Macy's all rolled into one. In Guatemala City, market women and their kids and kinfolk make...
