Book Description
"¡Si pudiéramos nosotras, las mujeres, sacudir nuestro continente!", le escribió en 1931 la cubana Ofelia Domínguez Navarro a Paulina Luisi, la médica uruguaya que para entonces era una veterana de la lucha feminista en América Latina. Este libro es la historia de esa sacudida: Katherine M. Marino recorre aquí la singular forma de entender los derechos de la mujer que se dio en nuestro continente en la primera mitad del siglo XX. El feminismo panamericano fue un movimiento que se valió de las formas de la diplomacia para lograr el compromiso de los Estados por el sufragio femenino, la igualdad de derechos sociales y laborales, la protección de la infancia. En los agitados tiempos del Frente Popular, de la solidaridad internacional con la República Española, del temor al fascismo, un puñado de activistas supo sumar fuerzas más allá de las fronteras para expresar un pensamiento igualitario de vanguardia que pronto colocó la lucha feminista en un plano más amplio, aunque no menos polémico: la defensa de los derechos humanos. Además de Domínguez Navarro, Luisi y muchas más feministas de México, Argentina y otros países, estas páginas tienen como protagonistas a la bióloga brasileña Bertha Lutz, la abogada panameña Clara González y la periodista chilena Marta Vergara —y, quizás en el rol de antagonista, a la estadounidense Doris Stevens— y como clímax la aportación latinoamericana a los cimientos de la ONU. La sacudida que produjeron esas mujeres audaces y claridosas aún hoy puede sentirse. "Este libro es un recuento brillante y ambicioso de los orígenes del feminismo global. Marino comprueba que en la primera mitad del siglo XX las latinoamericanas estaban a la vanguardia del activismo feminista internacional y reconstruye este movimiento radical, trasnacional e influyente." Michelle Chase, International Feminist Journal of Politics

Through a collection of critical essays, this work explores twelve keywords central in Latin American and Caribbean Studies: indigenismo, Americanism, colonialism, criollismo, race, transculturation, modernity, nation, gender, sexuality, testimonio, and popular culture.

Feminism for the Americas
Author: Katherine M. Marino
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469649705
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 367
Book Description
This book chronicles the dawn of the global movement for women's rights in the first decades of the twentieth century. The founding mothers of this movement were not based primarily in the United States, however, or in Europe. Instead, Katherine M. Marino introduces readers to a cast of remarkable Latin American and Caribbean women whose deep friendships and intense rivalries forged global feminism out of an era of imperialism, racism, and fascism. Six dynamic activists form the heart of this story: from Brazil, Bertha Lutz; from Cuba, Ofelia Domingez Navarro; from Uruguay, Paulina Luisi; from Panama, Clara Gonzalez; from Chile, Marta Vergara; and from the United States, Doris Stevens. This Pan-American network drove a transnational movement that advocated women's suffrage, equal pay for equal work, maternity rights, and broader self-determination. Their painstaking efforts led to the enshrinement of women's rights in the United Nations Charter and the development of a framework for international human rights. But their work also revealed deep divides, with Latin American activists overcoming U.S. presumptions to feminist superiority. As Marino shows, these early fractures continue to influence divisions among today's activists along class, racial, and national lines. Marino's multinational and multilingual research yields a new narrative for the creation of global feminism. The leading women introduced here were forerunners in understanding the power relations at the heart of international affairs. Their drive to enshrine fundamental rights for women, children, and all people of the world stands as a testament to what can be accomplished when global thinking meets local action.

Twenty-First-Century Feminismos
Author: Simone Bohn
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 0228009839
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
The women’s movement is a central, complex, and evolving socio-political actor in any national context. Vital to advancing gender equity and gendered relations in every contemporary society, the organization and mobilization of women into social movements challenges patriarchal values, behaviours, laws, and policies through collective action and contention, radically altering the direction of society over time. Twenty-First-Century Feminismos examines ten case studies from eight different countries in Latin America and the Caribbean to better understand the ways in which women’s and feminist movements react to, are shaped by, and advance social change. A closer look at women’s movements in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, Haiti, Mexico, and Uruguay uncovers broader recurrent patterns at the regional level, such as the persistence of certain grievances historically harboured by regional movements, the rise in prominence of varying claims, and the emergence of novel organizational structures, repertoires, and mobilization strategies. Dissimilarities among the cases are also brought to light, including the composition of these movements, their success in effecting policy change in specific areas, and the particular conditions that surround their mobilization and struggles. Twenty-First-Century Feminismos provides a compelling account of the important victories attained by Latin American and Caribbean organized women over the course of the last forty years, as well as the challenges they face in their quest for gender justice.

The Routledge Global History of Feminism
Author: Bonnie G. Smith
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000529479
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 793
Book Description
Based on the scholarship of a global team of diverse authors, this wide-ranging handbook surveys the history and current status of pro-women thought and activism over millennia. The book traces the complex history of feminism across the globe, presenting its many identities, its heated debates, its racism, discussion of religious belief and values, commitment to social change, and the struggles of women around the world for gender justice. Authors approach past understandings and today’s evolving sense of what feminism or womanism or gender justice are from multiple viewpoints. These perspectives are geographical to highlight commonalities and differences from region to region or nation to nation; they are also chronological suggesting change or continuity from the ancient world to our digital age. Across five parts, authors delve into topics such as colonialism, empire, the arts, labor activism, family, and displacement as the means to take the pulse of feminism from specific vantage points highlighting that there is no single feminist story but rather multiple portraits of a broad cast of activists and thinkers. Comprehensive and properly global, this is the ideal volume for students and scholars of women’s and gender history, women’s studies, social history, political movements and feminism.

The Cosmopolitics of Solidarity
Author: Johanna Leinius
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030990877
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
This volume discusses how commonality and difference are negotiated across heterogeneous social movements in Latin America, especially Peru. It applies cosmopolitics as an analytical lens to understand the intricacies of social movement encounters across difference, without imposing colonial hierarchies or categorizations. The author blends multiple theoretical approaches—such as social movement research, postcolonial feminism, and post-foundational discourse theory—with ethnographic insights to develop a theory of cosmopolitical solidarity. Providing a transnational and intersectional perspective on the politics of social justice in a postcolonial context, this book will appeal to students of social movements, gender studies, racism, Latin American studies, and international relations, as well as practitioners involved in activism, social work, or international cooperation.
