The women's movement is a central, complex, and evolving
socio-political actor in any national context. Vital to advancing
gender equity and gendered relations in every contemporary society,
the organization and mobilization of women into social movements
challenges patriarchal values, behaviours, laws, and policies
through collective action and contention, radically altering the
direction of society over time. Twenty-First-Century Feminismos
examines ten case studies from eight different countries in Latin
America and the Caribbean to better understand the ways in which
women's and feminist movements react to, are shaped by, and advance
social change. A closer look at women's movements in Argentina,
Brazil, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, Haiti, Mexico, and Uruguay
uncovers broader recurrent patterns at the regional level, such as
the persistence of certain grievances historically harboured by
regional movements, the rise in prominence of varying claims, and
the emergence of novel organizational structures, repertoires, and
mobilization strategies. Dissimilarities among the cases are also
brought to light, including the composition of these movements,
their success in effecting policy change in specific areas, and the
particular conditions that surround their mobilization and
struggles. 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,
as well as the challenges they face in their quest for gender
justice.
