Away from the public eye, but from within the structures of stable
and efficient organizations, women 's groups have established
nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to pursue feminist agendas.
Feminist Organizations and Social Transformation in Latin America
constitutes one of the first detailed analyses of the political and
educational work of these organizations. Focusing on NGOs in the
Dominican Republic and Peru, the book presents three case studies
of feminist work, showing the careful balance they must navigate
among satisfying basic needs, promoting legislation to address
profound gender asymmetries, and creating countercultures essential
to the development of a gender-attenuated society. In documenting
the work of feminist NGOs, Stromquist identifies the ways they
provide nonformal education (outside the school system) and
informal learning (through experiences and internal discussions) to
produce a new consciousness and assertive identities among women.
