這本書記錄了20世紀頭幾十年全球女權運動的開端。然而，這場運動的創始人主要不是在美國，也不是在歐洲。相反，凱瑟琳·m·馬裏諾向讀者介紹了一群傑出的拉丁美洲和加勒比女性，她們深厚的友誼和激烈的競爭使全球女權主義擺脫了帝國主義、種族主義和法西斯主義的時代。六位充滿活力的活動家構成了這個故事的核心:來自巴西的Bertha Lutz;古巴報道，奧菲利亞·多明戈斯·納瓦羅;烏拉圭，Paulina Luisi;巴拿馬，Clara Gonzalez報道;智利，Marta Vergara報道;來自美國的多麗絲·史蒂文斯。這個泛美網絡推動了一場倡導婦女選舉權、同工同酬、生育權利和更廣泛的自決權的跨國運動。 Their painstaking efforts led to the enshrinement of women's rights in the United Nations Charter and the development of a framework for international human rights. But their work also revealed deep divides, with Latin American activists overcoming U.S. presumptions to feminist superiority. As Marino shows, these early fractures continue to influence divisions among today's activists along class, racial, and national lines. Marino's multinational and multilingual research yields a new narrative for the creation of global feminism. The leading women introduced here were forerunners in understanding the power relations at the heart of international affairs. Their drive to enshrine fundamental rights for women, children, and all people of the world stands as a testament to what can be accomplished when global thinking meets local action.
