Feminism for the Americas : the making of an international human rights movement
Katherine M. Marino (Author)
This book chronicles the dawn of the global movement for women's rights in the first decades of the twentieth century in Latin American and Caribbean. Six dynamic activists form the heart of this story: from Brazil, Bertha Lutz; from Cuba, Ofelia Domíngez Navarro; from Uruguay, Paulina Luisi; from Panama, Clara González; from Chile, Marta Vergara; and from the United States, Doris Stevens. This Pan-American network drove a transnational movement that advocated women's suffrage, equal pay for equal work, maternity rights, and broader self-determination. Their efforts led to the enshrinement of women's rights in the United Nations Charter and the development of a framework for international human rights
