In this groundbreaking new study on ladinas in Guatemala City,
Patricia Harms contests the virtual erasure of women from the
country's national memory and its historical consciousness. Harms
focuses on Spanish-speaking women during the "revolutionary decade"
and the "liberalism" periods, revealing a complex, significant, and
palpable feminist movement that emerged in Guatemala during the
1870s and remained until 1954. During this era ladina social
activists not only struggled to imagine a place for themselves
within the political and social constructs of modern Guatemala, but
they also wrestled with ways in which to critique and identify
Guatemala's gendered structures within the context of repressive
dictatorial political regimes and entrenched patriarchy. Harms's
study of these women and their struggles fills a sizeable gap in
the growing body of literature on women's suffrage, social
movements, and political culture in modern Latin America. It is a
valuable addition to students and scholars studying the rich
history of the region.
