The women's movement around the world takes many stances, including women's rights, feminism, women's research, women's auxiliaries of political & religious organizations, & socialist feminism. Because of its unique political & economic history, socialist feminism is the dominant emergent stance of the women's movement in Latin America. Socialist feminism in Brazil, Peru, & the Dominican Republic is examined in particular, & found to be related to the international women's movement, political trends within each country, & constraints of the current political situation. Women's movements in other Latin American countries are also briefly discussed. HA.
