Download or read book Feminismo para Am rica Latina written by Katherine M. Marino and published by Grano de Sal. This book was released on 2021-09-27 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "¡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

Download or read book Before the Revolution written by Victoria González-Rivera and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-06-17 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Those who survived the brutal dictatorship of the Somoza family have tended to portray the rise of the women’s movement and feminist activism as part of the overall story of the anti-Somoza resistance. But this depiction of heroic struggle obscures a much more complicated history. As Victoria González-Rivera reveals in this book, some Nicaraguan women expressed early interest in eliminating the tyranny of male domination, and this interest grew into full-fledged campaigns for female suffrage and access to education by the 1880s. By the 1920s a feminist movement had emerged among urban, middle-class women, and it lasted for two more decades until it was eclipsed in the 1950s by a nonfeminist movement of mainly Catholic, urban, middle-class and working-class women who supported the liberal, populist, patron-clientelistic regime of the Somozas in return for the right to vote and various economic, educational, and political opportunities. Counterintuitively, it was actually the Somozas who encouraged women's participation in the public sphere (as long as they remained loyal Somocistas). Their opponents, the Sandinistas and Conservatives, often appealed to women through their maternal identity. What emerges from this fine-grained analysis is a picture of a much more complex political landscape than that portrayed by the simplifying myths of current Nicaraguan historiography, and we can now see why and how the Somoza dictatorship did not endure by dint of fear and compulsion alone.
Download or read book Women s Suffrage in the Americas written by Stephanie Mitchell and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2024-07-01 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first hemispheric study to trace how women in the Americas obtained the right to vote, Women's Suffrage in the Americas pushes back against the misconception that women's movements originated in the United States. The volume brings Latin American voices to the forefront of English-language scholarship. Suffragists across the hemisphere worked together, formed collegial networks to support each other's work, and fostered advances toward women gaining the vote over time and space from one country to the next. The collection as a whole suggests several models by which women in the Americas gained the right to vote: through party politics; through decree, despite delays justified by women's supposed conservative politics; through conservative defense of traditional roles for women; and within the context of imperialism. However, until now historians have traditionally failed to view this common history through a hemispheric lens.
Download or read book Five Hundred Years of LGBTQIA History in Western Nicaragua written by Victoria González-Rivera and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2024-10-08 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking book reframes five hundred years of western Nicaraguan history by giving gender and sexuality the attention they deserve. Victoria González-Rivera decenters nationalist narratives of triumphant mestizaje and argues that western Nicaragua’s LGBTQIA+ history is a profoundly Indigenous one. In this expansive history, González-Rivera documents connections between Indigeneity, local commerce, and femininity (cis and trans), demonstrating the long history of LGBTQIA+ Nicaraguans. She sheds light on historical events, such as Andres Caballero’s 1536 burning at the stake for sodomy. González-Rivera discusses how elite efforts after independence to “modernize” open-air markets led to increased surveillance of LGBTQIA+ working-class individuals. She also examines the 1960s and the Somoza dictatorship, when another wave of persecution emerged, targeting working-class gay men and trans women, leading to a more stringent anti-sodomy law. The centuries prior to the post-1990 political movement for greater LGBTQIA+ rights demonstrate that, far from being marginal, LGBTQIA+ Nicaraguans have been active in every area of society for hundreds of years.

Download or read book Engendering Transnational Transgressions written by Eileen Boris and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-23 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engendering Transnational Transgressions reclaims the transgressive side of feminist history, challenging hegemonic norms and the power of patriarchies. Through the lenses of intersectionality, gender analysis, and transnational feminist theory, it addresses the political in public and intimate spaces. The book begins by highlighting the transgressive nature of feminist historiography. It then divides into two parts—Part I, Intimate Transgressions: Marriage and Sexuality, examines marriage and divorce as viewed through a transnational lens, and Part II, Global Transgressions: Networking for Justice and Peace, considers political and social violence as well as struggles for relief, redemption, and change by transnational networks of women. Chapters are archivally grounded and take a critical approach that underscores the local in the global and the significance of intersectional factors within the intimate. They bring into conversation literatures too often separated: history of feminisms and anti-war, anti-imperial/anti-fascist, and related movements, on the one hand, and studies of gender crossings, marriage reconstitution, and affect and subjectivities, on the other. In so doing, the book encourages the reader to rethink standard interpretations of rights, equality, and recognition. This is the ideal volume for students and scholars of Women’s and Gender History and Women’s and Gender Studies, as well as International, Transnational, and Global History, History of Social Movements, and related specialized topics.
Download or read book The Oxford Encyclopedia of Women in World History written by Bonnie G. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 2710 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Encyclopedia of Women in World History captures the experiences of women throughout world history in a comprehensive, 4-volume work. Although there has been extensive research on women in history by region, no text or reference work has comprehensively covered the role women have played throughout world history. The past thirty years have seen an explosion of research and effort to present the experiences and contributions of women not only in the Western world but across the globe. Historians have investigated womens daily lives in virtually every region and have researched the leadership roles women have filled across time and region. They have found and demonstrated that there is virtually no historical, social, or demographic change in which women have not been involved and by which their lives have not been affected. The Oxford Encyclopedia of Women in World History benefits greatly from these efforts and experiences, and illuminates how women worldwide have influenced and been influenced by these historical, social, and demographic changes. The Encyclopedia contains over 1,250 signed articles arranged in an A-Z format for ease of use. The entries cover six main areas: biographies; geography and history; comparative culture and society, including adoption, abortion, performing arts; organizations and movements, such as the Egyptian Uprising, and the Paris Commune; womens and gender studies; and topics in world history that include slave trade, globalization, and disease. With its rich and insightful entries by leading scholars and experts, this reference work is sure to be a valued, go-to resource for scholars, college and high school students, and general readers alike.
Download or read book Honor Status and Law in Modern Latin America written by Sueann Caulfield and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2005-06-08 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection brings together recent scholarship that examines how understandings of honor changed in Latin America between political independence in the early nineteenth century and the rise of nationalist challenges to liberalism in the 1930s. These rich historical case studies reveal the uneven processes through which ideas of honor and status came to depend more on achievements such as education and employment and less on the birthright privileges that were the mainstays of honor during the colonial period. Whether considering court battles over lost virginity or police conflicts with prostitutes, vagrants, and the poor over public decorum, the contributors illuminate shifting ideas about public and private spheres, changing conceptions of race, the growing intervention of the state in defining and arbitrating individual reputations, and the enduring role of patriarchy in apportioning both honor and legal rights. Each essay examines honor in the context of specific historical processes, including early republican nation-building in Peru; the transformation in Mexican villages of the cargo system, by which men rose in rank through service to the community; the abolition of slavery in Rio de Janeiro; the growth of local commerce and shifts in women’s status in highland Bolivia; the formation of a multiethnic society on Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast; and the development of nationalist cultural responses to U.S. colonialism in Puerto Rico. By connecting liberal projects that aimed to modernize law and society with popular understandings of honor and status, this volume sheds new light on broad changes and continuities in Latin America over the course of the long nineteenth century.
