Download or read book Women’s Movements in International Perspective written by M. Molyneux and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-28 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analysis of gender and political inequality, and the women's movements that have contested it, has concentrated on the West. In this wide-ranging reevaluation, incorporating development studies and political sociology, Maxine Molyneux redresses this balance by analysing Latin American women's movements within liberal, authoritarian and revolutionary states. These studies of Argentina, Nicaragua and Cuba, alongside comparative discussions of socialism, women's movements and citizenship, examine the complex, and persistent, interaction of states and women's movements, and the diversity of responses engendered.
