Supermadre
Author: Elsa M. ChaneyPublisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 0292772653
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
The title of this book, Supermadre, is ironic. It means, not that women have begun to exercise real power in Latin American political life, but that their participation is mostly confined to roles that are extensions of their roles as mothers—health, education, welfare, for example—and then only on the lower levels of policy-making. Elsa Chaney begins her study with an examination of various attempts to explain women's virtual absence from decision-making councils not only in Latin America but also world-wide, concluding that their motherhood role has had the profoundest effect on the nature of their political activities. She then analyzes the images and realities of women in Latin American society from colonial times to the present. The remainder of the book is a detailed study of women in politics and government in Latin America, with emphasis on the contrasting cases of Peru and Chile. In conclusion, Chaney suggests that women will make only slow progress toward full participation in public life until they themselves stop seeing their role in politics as that of the supermadre.

Book Description
Gail Kelly and Carolyn Elliott have assembled the latest and best available scholarship from a range of disciplines to illuminate the determinants, nature, and outcomes of women's education in third World nations. This study focuses on the undereducation of women in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East, delving into its causes, changes in female education patterns and the significance of these changes to societies and to women's lives. Articles in this volume lay the foundation for further research by examining women's schooling from the novel perspective that the social and economic outcomes of women's education are shaped by gender-sex systems that subordinate women to men.

The Effect of Job Training on Peruvian Women's Employment and Wages
Author: Ana María ArriagadaPublisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN:
Category : Empleo - Peru
Languages : en
Pages : 52
Book Description
Post -school training significantly improves the employment probabilities but not the wages for urban salaried and self -employed women in Peru, possibly because they train for low -paying jobs. Because their chances of receiving job training are largely determined by educational attainment, women with limited schooling also face training opportunities.
