This book is a critical resource for understanding the relationship
between gender, social policy and women's activism in Latin
America, with specific reference to Chile. Latin America's
mother-centered kinship system makes it an ideal field in which to
study motherhood and maternalism-the ways in which motherhood
becomes a public policy issue. As maternalism embraces and enhances
gender differences, it has been criticized for deepening gender
inequalities. Yet invoking motherhood continues to offer an
effective strategy for advancing women's living conditions and
rights, and for women themselves to be present in the public
sphere. In analyzing these important relationships, the
contributors to this volume discuss maternal health, sexual and
reproductive rights, labor programs, paid employment, women miners'
unionization, housing policies, environmental suffering, and LGBTQ
intimate partner violence.
