About this book

Analyzing the key events and victories that have fuelled women’s movements, advanced feminism, and brought about social change in Latin America and the Caribbean.

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. Ten case studies are examined to better understand the ways in which women’s and feminist movements react to, are shaped by, and advance social change.

Reviews

"Bringing together this group of scholars from across the Americas and focusing on a wide range of case studies allows for an interesting explanation of the multiple factors, both local and transnational, that contribute to the wave of feminist mobilization across Latin America over the past decade. This volume offers a panoramic view that is missing in the literature." Sueann Caulfield, University of Michigan, and author of In Defense of Honor: Morality, Modernity, and Nation In Early Twentieth-Century Brazil
