With the goal of opening up dialogue and debate, Feminism presents a
critical and deeply personal history of Mexican feminism in the last
thirty five years. Drawing from her many years of activism and
anthropological scholarship, influential thinker Marta Lamas covers
topics such as the political development of the feminist movement,
affirmative action in the workplace, conceptual advances in regard to
gender, and the nuances of disagreements among feminists. Here in
English for the first time, this work offers invaluable insight into the
theoretical and political tensions that have shaped Mexican feminism and
the world at large.
