Produktbeschreibung

"This book is extraordinarily important as a work of feminist political history. It's a breathtakingly ambitious tour of Mexican women's movements and feminist politics that will stand as a model for future histories of Latin American feminism and state formation."--Heidi Tinsman, author of "Partners in Conflict: The Politics of Gender, Sexuality, and Labor in the Chilean Agrarian Reform, 1950-1973"
