      abstract = {This book provides an updated comparative overview of  womens movements in Latin America and the Caribbean,  filling some of the gaps left by the existing literature.  It brings together case studies of nine countries  Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic,  Ecuador, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Peru and includes a  comparative analysis of the overall evolution of womens  rights movements across the region during the past decades.  This analysis shows Latin America as the home to the  largest, strongest, and most densely regionally and  globally interconnected womens rights movements in the  Global South. Each chapter in this volume seeks to  understand where the struggles for womens rights come from,  how they stand today and where they are headed to. To do  so, they all use qualitative methodologies, and most resort  to first-hand accounts of the processes described and  reflections by the actors on their own experiences,  collected through surveys, in-depth interviews and/or  ethnographic observations. The comparative analysis of the  different national case studies reveals the main struggles  in which womens rights movements are currently involved in  Latin America and the Caribbean: the quest for political  representation within the State and its political  institutions; the fight against gender violence and the  struggle for sexual and reproductive rights especially  abortion rights. Womens Rights in Movement: Dynamics of  Feminist Change in Latin America and the Caribbean will be  a valuable resource for researchers, activists and policy  makers interested in the struggles for womens rights not  only in Latin America and the Caribbean, but in different  parts of the world. It will be of special interest to  sociologists, political scientists, anthropologists and  other social scientists working in interdisciplinary fields  such as gender and social movements studies.},
