Women's Movements in International Perspective

"Women's Movements in International Perspective" by Maxine Molyneux offers a comprehensive analysis of gender and political inequality, as well as the women's movements that resist these inequalities. While research in this area often focuses on Western perspectives, this work broadens the viewpoint and highlights women's movements in Latin America, particularly in countries like Argentina, Nicaragua, and Cuba. Molyneux integrates insights from development studies and political sociology to examine the complex interactions between states and women's movements. The study addresses the different responses arising from liberal, authoritarian, and revolutionary contexts, providing a deep insight into the challenges and achievements of women's movements in these regions.
