Beskrivning

The analysis of gender and political inequality, and the women's movements that have contested it, have concentrated on the West. In this wide-ranging re-evaluation, incorporating development studies and political sociology, the author redresses this balance by analyzing Latin American women's movements within liberal, authoritarian and revolutionary states. These studies of Argentina, Nicaragua and Cuba, alongside comparative discussions of socialism, women's movements and citizenship, examine the complex, and persistent, interaction of states and women's movements, and the diversity of responses engendered.
