- Description
- Vanuit diverse invalshoeken worden feminisme en vrouwenbeweging in Costa Rica in de jaren negentig belicht. De bundel is ingedeeld volgens de volgende onderwerpen: In Dl 1.'The varying faces of the Women's Movement and feminism' komen de verschillende theoretische uitgangspunten van de vrouwenbeweging in Costa Rica, van liberaal tot radicaal, aan de orde. In deel 2 'Making women visible in Costa Rican history' wordt aandacht besteed aan de geschiedenis van de vrouwenbeweging in Costa Rica, vrouwengeschiednis als nieuw vakgebied. In deel 3 'the quest for women's equality' staat de wettelijke status van vrouwen centraal m.b.t. gelijke behandeling. In deel 4 'Women suffering discrimination' worden verschillende aspecten onderzocht van discriminatie op basis van ras, klasse, seksuele voorkeur en fysieke handicaps, evenals geweld binnen het gezin en incest. Deel 5 'Women's organizations and organizations working with women' belicht vrouwen werkzaam binnen organisaties op allerlei gebieden. In deel 6 'the women's movement and feminism in the arts' komt de manier aan de orde waarop vrouwelijke kunstenaars de rol van de vrouw ter discussie stellen. Deel 7 'the constantly evolving status of women's studies' besteedt aandacht aan programma's vrouwenstudies op twee Costaricaanse universiteiten en biedt verschillende voorbeelden van specifiek onderzoek in vrouwenstudies.

- Description
- This study focuses on the role of women's activism in a society where women are not yet adequately represented by established parties and political institutions. Drawing on eyewitness accounts of meetings and protests, as well as interviews with leading female activists, Fábián examines the interactions between women's groups in Hungary and studies the unique brand of democracy they have forged in postcommunist Eastern Europe. Through her analysis, she demonstrates how democratization and globalization -- with their attendant range of challenges and opportunities -- have led women to redefine public—private divides.

- Description
- This collection examines how women’s movements have responded to the political, economic, and social changes of the last twenty years. The essays focus on the various strategies women’s movements have adopted and assess their successes and failures. The book is organized around three broad topics. The first, women’s access to political power at the national level, is addressed by essays on the election of Michelle Bachelet in Chile, gender quotas in Argentina and Brazil, and the responses of the women’s movement to the “Bolivarian revolution” in Venezuela. The second topic, the use of legal strategies, is taken up in essays on women’s rights across the board in Argentina, violence against women in Brazil, and gender in the work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in Peru. Finally, the international impact of Latin American feminists is explored through an account of their participation in the World Social Forum, an assessment of a Chilean-led project carried out by women’s organizations in several countries to hold governments to the promises they made at international conferences in Cairo and Beijing, and an account of cross-border organizing to address femicides and domestic abuse in the Juárez-El Paso border region. Jane S. Jaquette provides the historical and political context of women’s movement activism in her introduction, and concludes the volume by engaging contemporary debates about feminism, civil society, and democracy.
