SUMMARY:Feminism for the Americas: The Making of an International Hu
 man Rights Movement
DESCRIPTION:This book chronicles the dawn of the global movement for wom
 en's rights in the first decades of the twentieth century. T
 he founding mothers of this movement were not based primaril
 y in the United States\, however\, or in Europe. Instead\, Kath
 erine M. Marino introduces readers to a cast of remarkable L
 atin American and Caribbean women whose deep friendships and
  intense rivalries forged global feminism out of an era of i
 mperialism\, racism\, and fascism. Six dynamic activists form 
 the heart of this story: from Brazil\, Bertha Lutz\; from Cuba
 \, Ofelia Domíngez Navarro\; from Uruguay\, Paulina Luisi\; fro
 m Panama\, Clara González\; from Chile\, Marta Vergara\; and fr
 om the United States\, Doris Stevens. This Pan-American netwo
 rk drove a transnational movement that advocated women’s s
 uffrage\, equal pay for equal work\, maternity rights\, and bro
 ader self-determination. Their painstaking efforts led to th
 e enshrinement of women's rights in the United Nations Chart
 er and the development of a framework for international huma
 n rights. But their work also revealed deep divides\, with La
 tin American activists overcoming U.S. presumptions to femin
 ist superiority. As Marino shows\, these early fractures cont
 inue to influence divisions among today’s activists along 
 class\, racial\, and national lines.
