Women's Movements in International Perspective: Latin America and Beyond

Over the years, Maxine Molyneux has written some of the smartest articles that have been published in English on gender politics in Latin America. It is exciting to have many of her classic articles combined in one collection, along with some new articles addressing recent developments in Latin America, and academic critiques of her previous work. I am just now realizing that this collection is available in paperback which makes it perfect for courses on women in Latin America or for anyone who is interested in serious and very clearly written, non-jargonistic, analyses of gender politics in Latin America. And with the recent reelection of Daniel Ortega and the FSLN in Nicaragua, her two chapters on the FSLN's sometimes rocky relationship with Nicaraguan feminists make this collection very timely.
