Description

Esta publicación de Fempress, una alternativa de comunicación independiente centrada en las mujeres dentro del Instituto Latinoamericano de Estudios Transnacionales, se propone discutir sobre el movimiento, los derechos y la situación socioecónomica de las mujeres latinoamericanas. Además de contener varios ensayos, artículos y entrevistas escritas para la revista, la publicación también incluye una sección con notas breves informando sobre eventos relacionados con las mujeres en Latinoamérica, y otra reproduciendo artículos y noticias publicadas en periódicos locales. Los números van desde 1988 hasta el 2000, y tratan tópicos tales como el rol de las mujeres en la vida política del continente (particularmente preocupándose por la política formal y las candidatas femeninas a posiciones políticas), mujeres en el movimiento de trabajadores, derechos reproductivos, la cultura de la violación, y la violencia intrínseca a una sociedad patriarcal.
