Description:In Latin American history, women have not only played key roles within the family and society, but have long been active participants in political and economic life. The explosion of research over the last fifteen years testifies to how much we still have to learn about their experiences.

The book explores:The nature and impact of feminist movementsWomen's role in economic modernization and the gendered division of laborWomen's contributions to 20th-century nationalism and social revolutionsChanging gender roles and relations within marriage and the familyThe impact of modern birth control methods and changing sexual moresIn the concise introductory essays, Pamela S. Murray synthesizes recent research to provide readers with a context for the selections in each chapter, including primary sources that range from trial records, legal codes, and other official documents to personal letters, excerpts from women's published writings, speeches, and images.Whether for a course specifically on women in Latin America, or as an addition to a Modern Latin America survey course, Women and Gender in Modern Latin America provides a comprehensive overview of the experiences of women and workings of gender over time across a vast and diverse region.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
