Order Description

The birth of Argentinian Feminism and its development
That the Anglo Saxon Feminist misconception that feminism emerged from the Human Rights Movements in Latin America, extending to Argentina, in the 70’s dismissed the first wave of feminism and assumed that the Feminist movement in the region only began after the last dictatorship and beginning of democracy.
If the first wave of feminism in Argentina was ignored, how is it possible that there was any Feminist activity during Peronism and dictatorial regimes?
